Attached to TarraWarra Estate is a very good modern art gallery in TarraWarra Museum of Art. Its founders, philanthropists Eva Besen AO and Marc Besen AC, are passionate collectors of Australian art, having gifted both the building and several significant works from the 1950s to the present day. Besen passed away recently, but their generous legacy lives on in the gallery.
Sure, it’s a bit of a drive – but the scenery (both inside the gallery and out) is nothing short of amazing. The not-for-profit gallery features work from the Australian modernists to the current day, and notables from the collection are John Brack and John Olsen.
Built on a hill, the attached winery's stunning contemporary architecture houses a cellar door, and restaurant that sits among the estate's vineyard. When you're done looking at the beautiful art, head next door for a wine tasting, or even a long lunch.
