You can choose from The Private Talk The Talk Tour (3 cellar doors)

Our drivers can use our bus, a private car or even your own.
We can also tailor a Private Tour to include your favourite sights like the waterfalls, Chocolate Mill, Lavandula, Red Beard Bakery or The Convent.

Our Private Tours are award-winning and our speciality. Always have been since 2011. It's just that added touch that really makes a day out in the Daylesford Wine Region extraordinary. We book in private tastings with the makers and you get to taste old and new wines that are unavailable to the public.
You don't have to be a celebrity to treat yourself to Private Tours - yes, it's more expensive because of the huge added value and the privilege of having the bus or BMW to yourself, but it's worth it - walks of all life LOVE this tour and rate it as #1 on TripAdvisor.
FARMERS ARMS PRIVATE DINING EXPERIENCE
Hidden within the historic building, is the original kitchen of the late Phillips family who were the publicans and licenced victuallers of the Farmers Arms Hotel between 1864 and 1874.
We're revealing this renovated space for the first time in 164 years,
to be used as an additional dining experience.
'Farmers Kitchen' is a private dining room with an exclusive menu showcasing wild and farmed ingredients from around Daylesford and the best of the region. You will experience six delicious courses prepared and served with love by our renowned head chef Chris Timmins and his team. Think potatoes grown in our rich mineralised soil, truffles harvested in our cool climate, and fresh organic produce from our local artisans. We select and forage in preparation of your arrival, with a seasonal menu that can change daily.
Drink the region by choosing our optional beverage pairing and discover our award-winning wines, spirits, beers, and not to mention our water aerated from the mineral springs beneath.
It's the only experience of its kind in Daylesford.
Treat you and your special clients, friends or loved ones (a minimum of 6 and maximum of 14 people) to this amazing private dining experience.
$110pp - 7-course regional feast
