Relocated to Tamborine House in 1998, this grand old lady is now the heart of Albert River Wines, and has been elegantly restored to capture the former grandeur of the colonial period.

As well as sampling the full range of Albert River Wines and browsing for unique gifts in our Showroom, visitors can view a fascinating collection of photographs and articles detailing the rich and sometimes colourful histories of both Tamborine House and Auchenflower House.
