Description:
World-renowned for its cool climate varietals and award-winning vintages, the Yarra Valley is a wine lover’s paradise. Go beyond the misty, eucalyptus-scented rainforests of the Dandenong Range to sip your way through tasting rooms overlooking the fertile, rolling vineyards.
The cool and mountainous climate in the Yarra Valley make this region perfect for Burgundy-style reds and whites, so crisp chardonnays and light pinot noirs set the area apart from other Australian viticultural areas. Discover the unique characteristics and time-honored wine-making techniques that shape Yarra Valley wines as you visit some its famed tasting rooms.
At Dominique Portet—run by its namesake Frenchman and his son—take a seat on the park-like patio for a sampling of Bordeaux-style blends and summery rosés. Whether you're a sommelier-level connoisseur or just learning the vino basics, you can pick up tips on tasting and gain insight into what sets Australian wines apart as you swirl, sip, and savor each glass.
Tour the cellars and wine-making facilities at Rochford, and then break for lunch before raising a festive glass of bubbly at Domaine Chandon—the French producer has been down under since 1986. Head to the outdoor patio and take in sweeping views across the estate and vineyards as your tour comes to a close over local cheeses and perfectly paired wines.
