Museum Wine Night

Founded in 1866 in the Great Western wine region of Victoria, Best’s Great Western is one of Australia’s oldest continually family-owned and operated wineries. Best’s is known to have some of the oldest vines in Australia and produces extraordinary wines with great longevity. Throughout the history of the winery, there have only been two owners, the Best family who founded the winery, and the Thomson Family with a fifth-generation Thomson is now running the winery.

The Stables Cellar Door is a great place to taste the wines before experiencing the original underground cellar on their self-guided tour. The wines are excellent, with outstanding Shiraz and Cabernet Sauvignon, savoury Dolcetto, and fresh Pinot Meunier among the reds, and top-quality Riesling and Chardonnay. Occasional specials, available only from the Cellar Door, are an added incentive to visit.

In 2021 Best’s are bringing back their special Museum Wine Nights with a slightly new format where guests will be able to sample three aged museum wines from the cellar before deciding on a favourite and settling in with a glass. There will be live music from Smith and Giles and pre-ordered cheese plates will be available.
