Yarra Valley wine region
Imbibe within the hallowed walls of viticultural institutions at the birthplace of Victorian wine, or discover little gems of wineries that sommeliers would love to keep to themselves.
Stunning scenery with wines to match
Snap up new vintage cool-climate masterpieces at one of over 70 wineries around Healesville and the picturesque village of Marysville further north, to those amid the beautiful hill country around Nillumbik, Hurstbridge and Kangaroo Ground.
Visit the cellar doors of grand architecturally significant wineries to rustic tin sheds hidden among the vines, from stalwarts that continue to innovate like DeBortoli, Fergusson and Yering Station to boutique upstarts like Punt Road and Mandala Wines.
The wine region that started it all
Sample the grape and marvel at the harmony of diverse soils, temperate weather, and the dedication of generations of vignerons in the pioneering region that kick-started Victoria's wine industry in 1838.
Match the superb estate wines with a meal at a winery restaurant, with the region boasting hatted chefs who create masterpieces from the lush and bountiful local produce.
