Surrounded by magnificent rain forests, The Yarra Valley is renown for its picturesque views, tranquility and its clean environment. It is located less than an hour from Melbourne CBD and about an hour to the snowfields of Victoria.

More importantly, the Yarra Valley is internationally recognized as one of the world's leading cool climate wine regions.

Good quality wine can only be made from quality grapes. The Yarra Valley is a premier fruit growing region in Australia and it is particularly famous for its berries.

The Yarra Valley's climate and soil characteristics are ideal for producing high quality wine grapes. The long ripening period in the Yarra Valley enhances the formation of a broad range of compounds in the grapes, adding complexity and exceptional flavour to the wine. The region is renown for its exceptional Pinot Noir and stylish red varieties such as Cabernet Sauvignon and Merlot.

Apart from spectacular vineyards and wineries, the Yarra Valley is renown for its collection of restaurants featuring fresh Yarra Valley produce. The valley is also known for its Australian Wildlife Sanctuary at Healesville, hot air ballooning and bush walking in its spectacular rain forests. The valley offers numerous galleries, arts and craft shops, music and wine festivals, and horse racing.
