Our vineyard, based in the beautiful Lenswood region is unique with French inspired close planted vines and terracing across steep slopes, where they grow Pinot Noir, Chardonnay and Sauvignon Blanc.

At the cellar door you can see right into the winery, and meet the winemaker, as well as taste the range in the comfort of a sophisticated setting, with a blazing wood fire in winter. During the summer months why not sit outside with a glass of wine and cheese platter or have a coffee? Tilbrook Estate has on offer wonderful cool climate, elegant but flavoursome, award winning Sauvignon Blanc, Chardonnay, Pinot, Gris, Pinot Noir, Sangiovese, Shiraz, Cabernet, and very delightful Pinot Gris Dessert Wine.
