Fergusson Winery in Yarra Valley is well known and popular among wine tasting tour providers and wine lovers alike.

Good wines available for free tasting, warm rustic style restaurant with an open fireplace (so good in winter!) and hearty food cooked by Master Chef Louise Fergusson herself. The owner of the winery and a renowned chef.

The undisputed advantage of this winery is it’s vines. We all know that, as a rule, the older the vines – the better the wines coming from them. Well children, Fergusson Winery is blessed to have one of the oldest vines in the Yarra Valley region.

With some of the vines being the original bunch planted in the earlier years of vineyard. This results in making an exceptional wines from these “older vines” with intense flavours and rich aromas.
