Blaxlands INN

Tower Estate is welcoming a new food and beverage operation “The Blaxlands INN”. The new ‘meeting place’ is situated next to Tower Estate Wines on Broke Rd .Recently renamed the Blaxlands INN, it is set to re-open in July. Formerly known as Blaxlands Grill the operation has received a complete overhaul including kitchen, interior design and fit out. All designed to provide a truly differentiated eating and drinking experience.

The Blaxlands INN’s brand is inspired by the early settler and pioneer Gregory Blaxland (1778 – 1853) who in 1813 found a way to cross the Blue Mountains, opening up more farming land to the early settlement of Sydney. A brave and courageous explorer Mr Blaxland embarked into the unknown on horse. He had brought vines from the Cape of Good Hope, found a species resistant to blight, took a sample of his wine to London in 1822 and won a silver medal for it.
