Tahbilk Wetlands Cafe & Wetlands and Wildlife Reserve

Built in late 2005 to service visitors to Tahbilk, and the Wetlands & Wildlife Reserve in particular, in a striking architectural statement the ironbark, stone and corrugated roofed café building rises from the “Pepper Paddock”, where you overlook the Wetlands area from its sweeping outer deck.

The café focus is on offering contemporary cuisine with the emphasis on freshness, quality and wherever possible regionality.

The comforting reliability of ongoing favourites is supported by an ever-changing selection of daily specials utilising seasonal availabilities.

The café is also home to the Dalfarras range of wines (a collaboration between winemaker Alister Purbrick - C.E.O. and chief winemaker at Tahbilk - and his artist wife Rosa) and gallery exhibitions.

Walk in entry to the Wetlands & Wildlife Reserve is from alongside the café and visitors also have the unique option of accessing the reserve by dedicated Wetlands Punts whereby you can combine a cruise and a walk with a number of drop-off/pick-up points located along the backwaters of the Wetlands area.

Coupled with the historical Tahbilk cellar door just a 5 minute stroll away visitors are provided with an abundance of choice! Wonderful history, distinctive wines, gourmet food, Wetlands walks - a most unique winery and café experience!
