Settle in for a long, unhurried lunch overlooking the tranquil Tahbilk Wetlands. Raise a glass of bubbles, enjoy the spring sunshine, and indulge in a menu that celebrates the best of the season. Our chefs have created a Spring–Summer selection showcasing fresh local produce, perfectly paired with Tahbilk Estate wines, including our newly released Marsanne 2025.

Favourites on the Spring menu include the House Smoked Local Trout & Spring Pea Blinis, Greek Style Lamb Brochette with Meredith Goat’s Cheese and Orzo, and the Panko & Parmesan Crumbed Pork Cutlet — each dish is full of flavour and made to savour. Finish with something sweet, like the Tahbilk ‘Mess’ or a warm Spiced Apple & Custard Crumble, and let the afternoon unfold at its own pace.

To make the celebration even more special, each booking will receive a bottle of Tahbilk Sparkling Rosé to take home and enjoy later — a lovely reminder of a day well spent.

And if you’d like to make the day of it, start with a wine tasting at the Tahbilk Cellar Door, open from 10am to 5pm. Discover a line-up of Estate favourites, explore new releases, and wander through our historic underground cellars. Finish off the day with a walk around the picturesque wetlands and take in the beauty of nature at its best.
