Visit Living Legends at Woodlands Historic Park, home to our favourite retired champion race horses such as* Santa Ana Lane, Silent Witness, Apache Cat, Brew, Efficient, Twilight Payment, Redkirk Warrior (GB), Peniaphobia (IRE), Tom Melbourne, Fawkner and Almandin as well as recent additions include Gailo Chop, Pakistan Star, Rattan, Behemoth and Johnny Get Angry plus many more!
Meet the horses, watch kangaroos in their natural environment, and enjoy a generous morning tea in the homestead/museum at Woodlands Estate.
Beer tasting is at Holgate Brewhouse along with a hearty pub lunch. Holgate's is a country pub with a range of classic beer styles, full in flavour and rich in character. See a brewery in action at the hotel. Time to meander down the main street of beautiful Woodend, sit by the fire or in the beer garden or sample some more beers in the Taproom.
Our last stop of the day will be to taste the award-winning wines at the picturesque Hanging Rock Winery.
