amazing experience! - This experience showed me and my partner a whole different aspect to the art of making wine. The entire experience was fun, lighthearted while also being very interesting in terms of learning about the production of wine. We had the most amazing host too. We definitely look forward to visiting again.

A Winery You Must Visit - There was no Winemaking - Blending Experience class scheduled for the day that I was visiting (solo) but Suzie kindly mentioned my enquiry to Holly who then kindly agreed to give me a session! Holly was amazing, knowledgeable and yet able to make it a fun experience for a novice like me. Thanks Holly! Learned a lot to the art of wine tasting, it was illuminating and now looking forward to tasting wine on my own! With Holly's expert guidance, I took home a bottle of wine blended to my preferred taste. The team at Chateau Tahbilk from the wine cellar to the restaurant was warm and welcoming and service was excellent. A winery and team that is a credit to the Purbrick family ... looking forward to many more years of visiting Chateau Tahbilk.

Icing on the cake - Tahbilk is a very special place and having this one on one class with the lovely Tim was incredible and memorable. A really unique experience for red wine lovers, we didn't expect to learn so much about winemaking, or to have so much fun tasting.

What a Great Experience - We had visited Tahbilk previously, so wanted to experience something different, and what a great choice. Our Guide for the day was Tim Purbrick, part of the extended family of the owners, and he was delightful. His knowledge of the winery, the history, and the "agronomy" was blended into a number of tales as we had a brief tour of the cellar, and then into the museum area to experiment with a number of blends from their red wines. The time flew and before long, though with plenty of experimenting and tasting along the way, we had a bottle, labelled with our blend, and on our way to the restaurant for lunch - thoroughly recommend if you get a chance to join in - an unforgettable experience having a group of us made it even more fun
