It's about a one and a half hour drive up to the Tooborac Hotel & Brewery from Melbourne city. Once you've navigated your way out of the city roads you can literally sit back and cruise all the way up the Northern Highway. For a more scenic route, that takes just about the same amount of time, take Melbourne-Lancefield Road. You will pass through charming towns and enjoy picturesque countryside before you are met with the granite boulder backdrop of the McIvor Ranges.
If you plan to enjoy our craft beers once you get to The Tooby (and you don't intend on staying overnight), we recommend you take public transport. It's very straight forward and only takes about 1 hour and 45 minutes.
From the Southern Cross Coach Terminal/Spencer Street you can jump on the Melbourne to Barham line. 7 stops later hop off at Tooborac General Store. From there, Tooborac Hotel & Brewery is only a minutes walk down the road. Alternatively, you can take the Deniliquin line from the Southern Cross Coach Terminal/Spencer Street and hop off at Tooborac General Store.
Please note RESERVATIONS ARE REQUIRED to travel by coach. We also recommend that you check the timetable via the PTV site, as times may vary for weekdays and weekends.
The Tooborac Hotel and Brewery means so much to so many people and has done for over 150 years. Begin your journey with us by sampling our award winning beers. The brewers at Tooborac draw their ideas from traditional beer recipes, rather than brewing lagers and ales to match the larger commercial breweries. Tooborac Hotel Brewery has embarked on a journey to make classic tasting beers available to the ever growing legion of craft beer drinkers.
