Join us for the Icon Tasting Experience at Best’s Wines, where you can sample three exquisite wines from our renowned Icon Range. Established in 1866, our Cellar Door serves as the heart of Best’s Wines, offering a unique glimpse into our rich history. The tasting room, crafted from old red gum slabs, is located in the original stables and features vintage winery equipment, historical maps, and even Henry Best’s original journal from 1866.

These elements represent a significant chapter in Australian wine history, making your experience not just about tasting wine, but also about connecting with the past.

Whether you're a wine enthusiast or a casual drinker, the Icon Tasting Experience at Best’s Wines promises to be a memorable outing for you and your loved ones. Don’t miss the chance to taste some of the best wines in Australia while surrounded by a setting steeped in tradition.
