Grounds and neighbouring State Rose Garden.
Werribee Mansion was built by the Chirnside family in 1877 with their
fortune gained in the wool industry and the grounds showcase a working wool
farm of that era. The neighbouring
Victoria State Rose Garden sits on roughly 5 hectares and features over 5,000
roses, all of which are at their best in October and November.
A delicious lunch will follow at Wyndham
Cache, a unique gourmet café and local produce store. As many ingredients as possible are sourced
from the farm itself as well as neighbouring farms or those as close to home as
possible.
The cost for the full day tour is $370 per person. Pick up from 6:45am and drop off around 2:30pm. Select either Mansion/Rose Garden add-on OR Werribee Open Range Zoo add-on.
