Join us for lunch at the newly renovated Maffco Brewery & Distillery in Maffra. Tour of the property & lunch included!
Originally known as the Willsmere Dairy Factory, MAFFCO took over in 1954 and operated the business as a farm supplies store until 2022 when it was sold to current owners, Nicky and Lashay, and became the Maffco Brewery and Distillery.
Nicky and Lashay are inspired by local artisans and plan to create a paddock to plate experience in their restaurant, featuring produce from their own farm.
