Launched in 1991, Dalfarras wines are a reflection of the winermakers skills, Alister Purbrick and his artist wife Rosa. Alister uses local Nagambie Lakes fruit, along with selections from other premium wine-producing regions in Australia, to produce crowd-pleasing styles crafted for immediate enjoyment. They are then "dressed to impress" with selected works from Rosa's extensive portfolio of artworks reproduced on the labels. In August 2005 Dalfarras found its home with the opening of the Tahbilk Wetlands Cafe. The contemporary design and striking impact of the Cafe provided the ideal venue to showcase not only the Dalfarras range of wines but also selected artworks from Rosa's collection. Both the varietals offered and featured artworks have changed and developed over time as you would expect from such a progressive label. This is no better highlighted than with the current offerings featuring both traditional and innovative varietal blendings such as the Marsanne-Viognier, Shiraz-Viognier, Viognier-Pinot Gris and the Cabernet-Sangiovese. Alongside established straight varietal favourites Sauvignon Blanc and Shiraz with Rosa drawing her inspiration for the labels dressing these releases from the Wetlands area itself. Visitors to the Wetlands Cafe and Dalfarras Tasting Bar and Gallery can enjoy unique and exclusive varietal wines, contemporary cafe fare, gallery exhibitions, a cruise (or walk) in the Wetlands and Wildlife Reserve or all the above! 'Dalfarras is based at the Tahbilk Wetlands Café, part of an admirable and impressive initiative aimed at conserving the unique environment of the beautiful Nagambie Lakes. Cruises are available through the reserve and can be combined with a stroll through this pristine environment. Make sure you visit historic Tahbilk Winery and Vineyard nearby; it's a national treasure. The modern Dalfarras wines, and their more traditional Tahbilk cousins, are essential tasting while you're there.' Review by Ralph Kyte-Powell.
Mitchelton Winery is situated at the gateway to the Goulburn Valley, approximately 90 minutes from Melbourne city. Mitchelton Winery is becoming once again, one of regional Victoria's premier food and wine destinations. From the elegant range of Estate grown wines, to the tranquil rolling greens, and sweeping bends of the mighty Goulburn River, Mitchelton Winery has something for everyone. Take in new heights and admire the beauty of the region from the Ashton Tower, standing at an impressive 55 metres tall, you will be presented with stunning panoramic views of the region's river and ranges from the observation deck. Their newly renovated Cellar Door is sure to impress, with not only their finest wines on tasting, but a wonderful array of speciality products to delight the gourmet traveller. The restaurant boasts an exciting a la carte seasonal menu, sourced from the finest regional produce.

"Everything at Tahbilk Winery reflects a passion for history and heritage. The winery buildings are classified by the National Trust and the old Shiraz vines planted in 1860 should be declared national treasures. The place is quite simply a shrine for Australian wine lovers and is a must visit for any wine enthusiasts visiting Victoria. As an added bonus the wines are also good. The Marsanne is a perennial favourite and all of the reds are unmistakably traditional, cellar worthy and great value..
