TAHBILK Winery, Victoria’s oldest family-owned wine estate, has marked a significant milestone, celebrating 100 years of ownership by the Purbrick family at a special ceremony held at the Nagambie property on December 4. The centenary was commemorated with the unveiling of a 100-Year Commemorative Plaque by family matriarch Bonnie Purbrick, joined by local dignitaries, community leaders and guests.
Fourth-generation member Mark Purbrick paid tribute to his brother Alister Purbrick for his leadership since the late 1970s, while acknowledging the Traditional Custodians following a smoking ceremony led by Uncle Peter from Waka Bik. Debbie Purbrick reflected on Tahbilk’s deep community ties, and fifth-generation representative Mon George spoke of the pride and responsibility of continuing the family legacy.
