The Yarra Valley was Victoria’s first wine growing district going back almost 180 years. Vines were first planted in 1838 by the Ryrie brothers, on their property known today as Chateau Yering or Yering Station.
Demand for fortified wine saw Yarra Valley wine production cease in 1921. Replanting began in the late 1960’s and by the early 1990’s became one of the worlds leading cold climate wine growing regions, with internationally known names such as Domaine Chandon, St Huberts, De Bortoli, Yering Station, Oakridge & Coldstream Hills.
