Reviews
We bake handmade, authentic sourdough in a 19th century woodfired scotch oven in Trentham, central Victoria. Cafe, tours and classes.
Our authentic sourdoughs are leavened with a natural, wild culture of yeasts and healthy bacteria. We don’t use bakers’ yeast, preservatives or any other additives.
Our loaves are made with organic flour, shaped by hand and baked in a woodfired oven, built in 1891 - one of only a handful of Scotch ovens still operating in Australia.

18 November 2019 • Redbeard Historic Bakery Bread Baking Workshop
What a day! I loved absolutely everything about this experience, and was sad to leave at the end! I'd say the workshop is a must for anyone with an interest in or passion for baking bread. John's expertise and guidance throughout the day was invaluable, and he has so, so much knowledge to share. No question was too silly or trivial, and I walked away having learned more than I was ever expecting - and the tricks about how to translate what was learnt in the bakery to a home environment are especially useful! I'm now counting down the days until the leaven we created is ready for its first bake! I cannot recommend this workshop highly enough. (And the fact that the fruit bun upon arrival and lunch were incredibly delicious is just an added bonus!)

What a fantastic experience! I had the best day....the class was informative and interesting and very hands on which was great. It is a charming bakery with fantastic food and very friendly staff. Al is a wonderful teacher and I am really looking forward to making my own bread when my leaven is ready to go. Thank you to all who made this a special and memorable experience for me.
