The Yarra Valley, as close to Melbourne as it is beautiful, has entranced visitors to the region for many years. The first vines were planted here in the 1800s, the diverse soils found here and cool climate have contributed to the many elegant wines produced here.
Dotted throughout the Dandenong Ranges are quaint villages such as Olinda, Gembrook, Belgrave, Emerald and Sassafras, home to some of Melbourne’s best gardens and famous for Devonshire cream teas.
Superb quality table and sparkling wines from over 40 cellar doors, breathtaking natural beauty and succulent local produce combine to make the area an adventure in indulgence. Signature wine styles: Chardonnay, Pinot Noir and Sparkling Wines.
