byramine homestead

14kms out of Yarrawonga was the oldest homestead in Victoria. We paid to have a look in and around the homestead & it presented a real slice of life in the 1800s. We had a great lunch there & sampled local wine. Great! Thoroughly recommend it.

Lovely historic buildings. Excellent micro-brewery beers! Good selection of platters to enjoy out on the lawns. Enjoy a quiet afternoon for 2 or have a boozy afternoon with friends (assuming you have a designated driver!)

Another lovely home cooked meal was brought to our table on the veranda. This allowed my girlfriends children to run and play on the lovely green grass. The kids were great and either played, asked questions about the surrounding farm or ate their homemade sausage rolls.

Do yourself a favour and drop in for a look. We loved visiting this very old Homestead brewery and Cider House. The old homestead was amazing the way it had been built back in 1842 and was still used as a home until the 1980's. The artifacts and furniture gives it a feel of time standing still. Worth the $5 to walk through the homestead.The Apple cider is delicious. We had just had lunch but the scones looked good that others were having. The gardens would be lovely in the rainy season and it was obvious they did there best to keep everything alive in the hot dry summer weather with nice green lawns.

Really beautiful house built and managed by a legendary woman Elizabeth Hume and maintained now by wonderful guys, running best-ever-ever scorns, variety of local beers,apple/lime/pear ciders, meat and cheese platter and other super-nice lunch choices. Lots original furniture, cups-n-spoons from old days, amazing charming dresses, birds and trees around..

The homestead is really worth a look. $5 will get you entry and an information sheet about the house. There are other noted on the walls with further information. Don't forget to go down into the cellar just mind your head. The gardens are really nice with some special old trees. Lots of history.Food available, and you can dine on the verandah or under the shady trees on the lawn. If its cold you can actually eat inside.There is a real farm happening here and a brewery with the best Lemon Cider I have ever tasted, get in quick it goes fast.Farm produce is sometimes available.You can buy a copy of the info sheet for $4. Toilets on site.

On our way back from Cobram we turned into Byramine Homestead and Brewery - 14 km from Yarrawonga - Entry is via a long gravel road lined with tall trees . Farm produce can be purchased and the spring onions looked tempting.The Brewery and Homestead is open from 10am - 4 pm and entry is FREE. We entered the old building housing the brewery and sampled several beers and stouts from the 6 or so on offer as well as various wines , before purchasing "freshly bottled from the barrel" beers. The kids were fascinated with the 1970's Space Invaders and jukebox machines and it kept them quiet while we enjoyed the atmosphere and surroundings.We went on a tour of the old homestead - (A family ticket is $15 or $5 per adult) . built in the early 1800's by John Hume - Hamilton Humes brother. The history of the place is there for you to see and touch- many old items and articles and the building is a "memorial to the hard pioneer days of long ago ". A fascinating look back to the rigours of living with constant threats from bushrangers and aborigine attacks. Had we known we would have had lunch here as the smells coming from the scullery were more than inspiring .... maybe next time. They cater for gourmet luncheons and Formal homestead dining as well.

The Lady of the Homestead was very helpful and made some suggestions of where else to visit.We loved the scones but I would have liked the option of having some marmalade.My wife insisted we go back a second time on another day to try the Devonshire tea again.They have some fresh vegetables grown on the property which you can try/buy.

This is part of the farm gate trail that the information center at Mulwala put us on to, we really enjoyed our visit we toured the homestead built by Elizabeth Hume - the first person to live in north east Victoria, when we walked through this house wow what a lot of history, we were given a tour sheet to take around with us explaining the rooms in the house and the area around the house we were so glad we stopped off to see this, we also bought some nice fresh vegetables as they have a big vegetable farm, we didn't stop any longer as we had a lot to fit into one day, but you can have lunch or wine tasting, this is a must see place if you are in the area.

We visited here while we were staying in Yarrawonga. The brochure about the family history and the homestead was more interesting than the homestead self guided tour itself. I have toured much more interesting old places than this. For lunch we chose Frittata and salad from a very limited menu. It was very tasty. Then we went and tasted some beers at the Brewery and spoke to a very interesting owner and bought some of his brews.

We had Scones which were magnificent and now there is a brewery. the sparkling wine was sweet and had to bring back a few bottles with me.

Firstly we tasted some interesting beers and ciders in the brewery. The man was very friendly and we enjoyed his company. Then I wandered into the homestead to have a look, not realising that I was meant to pay for a self guided tour. They was no sign at the entrance to the homestead to indicate that payment was required. I was approached by a very aggressive lady, who was not happy with my presence. Her approach lacked diplomacy, so as a result, we did not stay for lunch. Go to the Rich Glen Olives where they are pleased to see you and it has a huge range of products.

This is an incredibly special place - there aren't many 1842 buildings still in existence that have been so lovingly preserved - you expect the original owner, Elizabeth Hume, to step out of the bedroom at any minute! Lovely simple lunches and snacks such as the delicious savoury pioneer scone are on offer and you can eat on the covered verandah, on the lawn under the ancient elms or by the fire in one of the homestead rooms if it's chilly. this is a truly wonderful place.

An interesting homestead property that exudes local history and family life from the 1800's. They have also established a brewery making about 5 different types of beer. Interesting and varied full flavours. Agreat way to spend a few hours for families.

Beautifully home cooked food. All sorsed locally. Not to mention the back to basics alcahol. Relaxed and great for the whole family. I was greated by the family dogs. Saw the whole homestead and will only buy their wine as it is full bodied without the over production of commercial wines.
