Underground Dining at Seppelt Great Western

Step into something extraordinary with our ticketed Underground Dining events at Seppelt Great Western — an immersive evening of flavour, story, and connection set deep within Australia’s longest underground cellars.

Led by Executive Chef Bryden Buckingham, this experience blends the region’s finest seasonal produce with thoughtful wine pairings, all served in one of the country’s most iconic wine settings. Bryden’s produce-first approach and passion for regional food bring a fresh energy to the table, delivering dishes that are grounded, generous, and full of character.

The evening begins in the Shaft House, where you’ll enjoy a relaxed charcuterie service featuring hand-selected local cheeses, smallgoods, and seasonal accompaniments, all alongside a glass of Seppelt wine. It’s the perfect way to settle in and connect with fellow guests before the descent below.

From there, you’ll be guided underground into the atmospheric Drives — a labyrinth of hand-dug cellars dating back to the 1860s. Gather at a shared table as Bryden’s chef’s choice three-course menu unfolds, each dish paired with Seppelt wines drawn from the very cellars that surround you.

This is more than a dinner. It’s a celebration of place, of people, and of the timeless craft of wine and food done well.

Make a weekend of it and explore the broader Grampians Wine Region — a destination rich with cellar doors, mountain landscapes, and quiet moments worth seeking out.
