Well worth visit. This was a working courthouse and after its closure all the furniture and fittings have been kept. Lots of history in this building with helpful staff ready to answer any questions

Wow. Just wow. Went and did our own tour thanks to the maps available when you walk thru the gates. So many old interesting graves. Yet so sad as well. Many babies/toddler graves from mid to late 1800s. Chinese graves were a real eye opener. A quiet, respectful, reflective experience.
3. 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.

On our way to Beechworth we always stop at Woolshed Falls. The views and waterfalls are amazing. You can climb over the rocks ( suggest only if you are fit and healthy and wearing good footwear) or walk to the viewing platform next to the carpark which is even better for those wishing to capture beautiful images.

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.

We always love visiting the historic town of Beechworth when staying in this region. Stop by the Information Centre first and pick up all you need to discover all that Beechworth and surrounds has to offer. Housed in a beautiful old building with heaps of brochures and information or stop and receive advise from the friendly staff who will guide you through everything you need to know. Then step outside and if you like to photograph check out the beautiful architecture of the original buildings around the main precinct then enjoy all Beechworth has to offer. So Good.

We visited through the day so not a tour but it was simply amazing, The historical buildings show a life lived in another era and evokes thoughts of what it must have been like to have lived there. We met by accident a man who owns a property on site who generously spent time telling us about the history and life that was personal to me as I had a relative that had died there. The gardens are worth a visit in their own rite.

Reviewed By markgM7625IR - Melbourne, Australia
Accessible by car from two entrances - the full 5 km from Sydney Road near Horseshoe monument and Golden Heritage accommodation and 4 km from the Powder Magazine Carpark at bottom of Camp Street - as well as walk the 5 km from the opposite direction from Newton Falls at end of Ford St as you head out of town. I took all 3 options on my several walks- didn’t drive as driver can’t look and you miss all the other walks off the main road. Some stunning views of the valley and the town along the way and some nice bush walks which are well signed but the highlight is the cascades at the bridge which is about 1 km from Camp St Carpark entrance. While not as big as Woolshed falls I actually enjoyed these more as the individual cascades are more impressive to look at and easier to walk down - the final fall at Woolshed is just more impressive and the cascades here don’t have a dedicated Carpark with facilities. Definitely recommend this as a visit though and don’t be put off by having to hop over the pipes to get to the cascades. Safe for all ages. And take the time to go down safely as far as you can - the final cascade classified as a small waterfall to me and was gorgeous to observe up close.
