Coombe Yarra Valley is a historic winery and estate located in Yarra Valley, once the private home of Dame Nellie Melba. Established in 1909, the estate has evolved into a celebrated destination for wine, dining, and heritage experiences. The winery produces a selection of estate-grown, single-vineyard wines, offering visitors a taste of the region’s cool-climate varietals.
The estate is as much about history as it is about wine, with beautifully maintained gardens designed by William Guilfoyle and a historic home filled with significant artworks and artefacts. A visit to Coombe Yarra Valley offers a unique blend of local wine, culinary excellence, and a glimpse into the legacy of one of Australia’s most iconic figures.
The cellar door at Coombe Yarra Valley provides a relaxed setting for wine tastings, set within the estate’s picturesque surroundings. Guests can enjoy wine flights on the Garden Terrace, a casual alfresco space framed by the estate’s 100-year-old hedge, or sample a range of wines inside the Estate Courtyard.
Alongside the wine tastings, the Providore offers a curated selection of Yarra Valley products, including locally sourced ingredients featured in the estate’s restaurant. The Garden Terrace also serves light meals, charcuterie, and share plates, making it an ideal stop for a casual tasting experience.
