We booked a free wine tasting and it did not disappoint. We were well looked after and all the wines we tasted were delicious. The Luminoso Rosé was definitely our favourite. We stayed around for some more wine, took some home and returned the next day because we just couldn’t get enough

Serengale Retreat was a wonderful place for a group of friends to spend an Autumn weekend.The seven of us were all accommodated very comfortably in the spacious house and garden.We were able to find private spots to read or gather around tables for games, conversation and meals (in or outdoors) according to whim. The kitchen has everything needed to prepare great group meals and the Stanley Pub provided a terrific Saturday lunch. Beds are super comfortable and the whole place spotlessly clean. The garden and vistas are lovely and the swimming pool refreshing. We walked, watched sunsets and birds, shared convivial meals and much hilarity. A highlight was the tasting of the excellent Serengale wines and tour of the winery. The whole place exudes an atmosphere of serenity...no wonder the wines are so good!

Magnificent location nestled in the trees, just off the rail trail, in the hills of Beechworth. A famous name from the wine families of central Victoria, and a new wine experience that is a pleasure to experience. The only disappointing thing is the fact we can not take home enough...not because the ran out but rather because we couldn’t choose from the selection. Certainly worth a visit for white, red and fortified drinkers alike.
6. Indigo Vineyard

Visit our winery for a great wine tasting experience. You will be seated with beautiful Riedel crystal glasses to explore a flight of 4 white and 4 red wines from amazing Beechworth. Small, rustic but a great wine experience. Its all about the wine! PS we were selected by James Halliday as one of his Top 10 Dark Horse wineries for 2014. These are the ones that few know about but are producing way above their reputation. If you are hungry choose some local Gamze smallgoods & Milawa Cheese to make up a platter. Don’t forget to say hi to our pigs in the animal nursery. Exciting that our Secret Village Chardonnay was selected as Best of Region in the 2018 Australian Chardonnay Challenge. Note we will be closed on Melbourne Cup Day.

A great winery, with outdoor dining options. The pizzas are great, some above standard pizza toppings. I recommend booking if going at lunchtime. The service was excellent, with nothing a problem. They are part of a bike trail to explore.

Billson’s Brewery is a fantastic place to visit, even for the kids! You can taste test there whole range from vodka, beer and cordials! No charge to taste test and it’s fun for the kids - we loved the cordials and came home with 8bottles ranging from $8.50 - $12 each, they are delicious mixed with lemonade or mineral water. The new owners have kept true to the history of Billsons and have done an amazing job re-opening this iconic brewery. The owners and staff are super lovey and accommodating. There is so much to explore around the brewery including old brewing/bottling equipment, carriages and an old school barber room. The food is sensational and there is a cool Speak Easy Gin Room downstairs with some board games and big comfy chairs. You can easily spend a few hours there - taste testing, exploring, having lunch & a drink or 2! We had a wonderful time and would definitely go back.

Discover the wonderful world of bees at Bee School! Catch a cooking demonstration, listen to a bee talk, wander through the Bee Cause Garden, relax in our picnic & play space.
10. The BiG House Cooking School
The BiG house cooking school deals with food history over the decades. When the kitchen at The Old Beechworth Gaol was reopened to house a catering company we realised the kitchen is always is the centre and hub of every family and the gaol system is no different. Its just a little bit crazier than others. So come and roll up your sleeves, hear a few yarns, have a bite to eat and make new friends.
