Daylesford & Surrounds

Wombat Forest Vineyard

This year, Wombat Forest Vineyard and Winery proudly celebrates 29 years since planting in 1997, nearly three decades of growing, crafting and sharing cool climate wines in one of Victoria's most beautiful regions.

Nestled on the edge of the Wombat State Forest and just fifteen minutes from Daylesford, Wombat Forest Winery is a hidden winter retreat where guests can slow down, reconnect and experience genuine country hospitality surrounded by nature.

Throughout Winter, visitors can settle beside a crackling wood fire and enjoy seated tastings of handcrafted boutique wines, paired with seasonal platters or warm marinated olives. Finish the experience with a glass of signature mulled wine and cosy up under one of their handcrafted Wombat Forest Winery throw rugs — available to purchase as a keepsake of your visit.

Guests can also enjoy tastings in the barrel room, surrounded by wine barrels and cellar tools, offering a unique glimpse into the winemaking journey.

Their rich volcanic soils, natural springs and crisp winter frosts create ideal conditions for producing elegant cool climate wines. Sustainability remains at the heart of everything they do, supported by solar power, their own water supply and minimal intervention winemaking.

Family and pet friendly, Wombat Forest Winery is the perfect winter destination to relax, unwind and celebrate the season.
