About Yarra Valley
A little of Bordeaux or Tuscany in our own backyard, the Yarra Valley is an area of unspoilt beauty, luscious wines and crisp air surrounding the Yarra River in Victoria’s thriving wine making region. The relatively cool climate of the Yarra Valley has made it a popular destination for growing grapes since the 1800’s, with 1890 seeing Victoria produce almost 60% of Australia’s wines. Less than an hour from the Melbourne or international airport, the Yarra Valley is one of Australia’s premier food and wine destinations, calling out to all the foodies and connoisseurs from around the world.
