Yalumba The Cooper’s Table with 6HEAD

Slip behind the curtain to one of the most extraordinary spaces in Australian wine: our on-site cooperage. The only fully operational cooperage in the Southern Hemisphere, it’s where oak, time and human craft come together to shape the character of our most celebrated wines.

For one special afternoon, this working cooperage becomes a dining room. Seated among the barrels we build by hand, you will enjoy a Rare & Fine wine experience paired with a thoughtfully curated multi-course lunch.

In partnership with iconic Australian steakhouse 6HEAD, Head of Culinary & Beverage, Sean Hall has created a menu inspired by the cooperage itself, drawing on its elements to shape dishes that celebrate premium local produce, including the acclaimed Mayura Station beef, and fresh local seafood.

Guests will enjoy canapes on arrival followed by a series of courses paired with Yalumba’s Rare & Fine collection. This is more than a meal. It’s a moment inside a living story, shaped by six generations, guided by patience, precision and purpose.
