In the heart of the picturesque town of Timboon, where rolling green hills meet the horizon, and dairy farms dot the landscape, there exists a delightful secret that has been tantalizing taste buds since October 1999.
Timboon Fine Ice Cream, lovingly crafted by the dynamic duo of Tim Marwood and Caroline Simmons, is more than just a frozen treat; it’s a journey through generations of dairy farming and a testament to the beauty of local ingredients.
Tim Marwood, a third-generation dairy farmer, brings a deep-rooted connection to the land. His family’s farming legacy stretches back to the 1940s when his grandfather pioneered early irrigation practices. Tim’s father was a trailblazer in the district, milking ‘a cow to the acre’ in the 1970s. This rich heritage laid the foundation for Tim and Caroline’s endeavour to add value to their family dairy operation.
Tim and Caroline have been churning out their signature ice cream on their property for nearly two decades, nestled just 7 kilometres from Timboon. Freshness is the secret ingredient here, with milk sourced from The Doolan’s family farm just down the road and cream from local farms. The result? An unmistakable creamy smoothness that sets Timboon Fine Ice Cream apart.
They say freshness is the key to the best ice cream, and Timboon Fine Ice Cream lives by that mantra. They create a premium boutique ice cream that is a gastronomic delight using local fresh milk and cream.

But Timboon Fine Ice Cream is not just about savouring their delectable creations; it’s also about the experience. Enter the “Sundae School Classes,” a journey into ice cream’s history, science, and fun facts. These classes are a delicious way to spend a weekend, whether for kids’ parties, family outings, road trips, or simply because you adore ice cream.
In these classes, you’ll roll up your sleeves and become an ice cream artisan, creating your gourmet sundae with freshly churned ice cream and an array of toppings and inclusions. It’s an educational and delicious adventure rolled into one.
Each Sundae School Class offers 45 minutes of ice cream learning and churning fun, complete with a tub of freshly churned ice cream ready to add your favourite toppings and sauces. And, of course, there are free tastings of their 24 + flavour range to indulge your taste buds.
Speaking of flavours, Timboon Fine Ice Cream doesn’t shy away from innovation. While they started with the classics – chocolate, vanilla, and strawberry – they’ve since expanded their premium ice cream range to include more adventurous options like maple and cinnamon, apple pie, and whisky cream. These innovative flavours have won the hearts of ice cream aficionados near and far.
It’s no surprise that visitors have fallen in love with the fine flavours of Timboon Fine Ice Cream. Reviews overflow with praise, calling it “absolutely delicious” and “seriously great ice cream.” Some say it’s worth the drive, and indeed, it is, especially when you consider the picturesque surroundings and the gourmet food trail that leads you to Timboon.
