About the Yarra Valley

The Yarra Valley sow its viticulture roots in the mid-19th century. Pioneered by the Ryrie brothers in the 1830s, vineyards flourished. However, it wasn't until the 1960s that the area experienced a renaissance in winemaking.

It wasn’t until 1963 that winemaking activity relaunched with the planting of vines at Wantirna Estate and was subsequently followed over the next decade with the emergence of other now iconic wineries. One of the founding wineries, Yarra Yering, established by Dr. Bailey Carrodus in 1969, gained acclaim for its Bordeaux-style blends. Similarly, Mount Mary emerged, producing elegant, age-worthy wines. These wineries laid the foundation for the region's reputation for refined, cool-climate wines. Other key players in these early days were WarramateSeville Estate, Chateau Yarrinya (now De Bortoli), Yarra BurnMorgan Vineyards and the re-establishment of two of the valleys’original founding wineries St Huberts and Yeringberg.

The 1980s saw Domaine Chandon, Moët & Chandon's Australian venture, introducing Sparkling Wines. Chardonnay and Pinot Noir jumped on the coattails of the regions standout variety from the early days, Cabernet Sauvignon, and they have gone on to became the valley's flagships, known for their finesse and complexity.

Today, the Yarra Valley boasts diverse wine styles. Chardonnay remains a standout, alongside exceptional Pinot Noir, renowned for its balance and depth. Varietals like Shiraz (Syrah) and Nebbiolo also thrive, showcasing the region's versatility.

Key attractions include TarraWarra Estate, acclaimed for its art gallery and premium wines, and Oakridge Wines, known for innovative winemaking. Domaine Chandon continues to draw crowds with its sparkling varieties and picturesque setting.

The Yarra Valley's wine journey encompasses a rich history, showcasing a spectrum of styles and wineries that continue to innovate and captivate wine enthusiasts globally.
