The Yarra Valley. There’s no place on earth like it.

It’s the birthplace of Victorian wine. And despite its 170-year legacy, it’s far from old. In fact, it’s a hub for innovation and home to some of the most progressive, dynamic winemakers in the world.

Only an hour’s drive from the heart of Melbourne, the Yarra Valley is an epicurean adventure for those with a passion for wine, food and breathtaking landscapes. It’s an unforgettable experience where craft and country come together to create cool-climate quality of international renown.

Yarra Valley Wineries

Over eighty wineries span the Yarra Valley, each of which express the diversity of its terroir, the passion of its producers, a mastery of traditional practices and a rebellious instinct to push the boundaries.
