Wombat Forest may have been quietly plugging away for the better part of the last thirty years, but with the recent construction of their Burrow Event Space and its breathtaking vistas of dramatic forest scenes just outside, it feels almost like the regional gem descended from heaven just last night.  Wombat has truly constructed the region’s most dramatic and beautiful cellar door / event space, and you can’t help feeling special just sitting in there.  And the space itself is warmed by the bubbly personality of the engaging owners who keep you company as they describe their wines. 

In our March 2021 visit, we were floored by their dark and mysterious Blanc de Noir sparkling (it really caught us by surprise – don’t often find such an evocative sparkling wine!) and their freight train 2016 Chardonnay, driven by very powerful fruit that is very much alive five years later.
