TAHBILK WETLANDS CAFE
In 2005 construction was completed on a dedicated Wetlands Café built to service visitors to the Wetlands area.
In a dramatic architectural statement the ironbark, stone and corrugated roofed building rises from the Pepper Paddock, as its location is known, with your Wetlands experience beginning from a jetty below its sweeping outer deck.
The Café is also home to the Dalfarras range of wines and Dalfarras Gallery.
Established in 1991, Dalfarras is the vinous child born of a collaboration between winemaker Alister Purbrick (C.E.O. and chief winemaker at Tahbilk) and his artist wife Rosa Purbrick.
Alister crafts each Dalfarras release utilising the best fruit from Nagambie Lakes & other premium vineyard sites around Australia, whilst selected works from Rosa's extensive, and ever growing, portfolio are reproduced on the labels - and on display on the Cafe's Gallery walls. Rosa also lent her maiden name Dal Farra to its naming.
