About Tahbilk Estate Restaurant

Perched over the peaceful waters of the billabong, Tahbilk Estate Restaurant turns a Nagambie detour into an effortless regional feast. Tables on the open-air deck look straight across the wetlands—a calm, unhurried backdrop for long milestone lunches and easy family get-togethers. The kitchen works squarely with regional produce, serving plates like crisp pepperberry pork belly and melting beef cheek alongside Tahbilk’s own estate Marsanne. When the weather cools, the crowd drifts inside to high-timber ceilings and a burning open hearth. An easy afternoon naturally unfolds from here, whether that means a tasting at the heritage cellar door or an eco boat tour through the waterways.

  • Waterfront Billabong Deck: Outdoor terrace tables look directly out onto the tranquil backwaters and native birdlife.
  • Estate Wine Pairings: Estate-grown varietals like Marsanne poured alongside regional pork belly and beef cheek.
  • Historic Estate Setting: Sprawling grounds host heritage cellar door tastings, wetlands walking trails, and eco boat tours.
