Yarrawood Estate is a celebrated winery in Yarra Valley, producing hand-crafted, single-vineyard wines that showcase the region’s cool-climate elegance. Spanning 150 acres, the estate’s diverse terroir allows for the cultivation of a range of grape varieties, including Chardonnay, Pinot Noir, Shiraz, Riesling, Sauvignon Blanc, and Cabernet Sauvignon. A focus on sustainable viticulture and meticulous winemaking ensures wines of exceptional quality and depth.
With a commitment to expressing the purity of its fruit, Yarrawood employs both traditional and modern techniques, from hand-harvesting select parcels to careful barrel maturation. Their premium Barrel Select range, crafted from the highest-grade fruit, is available exclusively through the winery, while their Tall Tales series offers wines of intensity and structure. The estate's winemaking philosophy is centered on minimal intervention, allowing each vintage to reflect its unique growing conditions.
Open daily, the Yarrawood Estate Cellar Door offers a relaxed and welcoming space where guests can enjoy guided wine tastings, explore the vineyard, or simply unwind with a glass of wine on the outdoor deck. The estate’s café serves a selection of savoury plates, house-made desserts, and cheese and grazing platters, all designed to complement the wines. Takeaway wine and picnic-friendly food options are also available.
The scenic surroundings make Yarrawood an ideal destination for a leisurely afternoon, with stunning views over the vineyard and rolling hills. Visitors can enjoy their wine alongside share plates or indulge in a seated tasting experience, all while taking in the beauty of the Yarra Valley landscape.
