Yarra Valley happened to be a very first wine region in Victoria with the very first vineyard – Yering Station established there in 1838.
Now Yarra Valley boasts more than 80 wineries with cellar doors open for wine tasting.
As you can imagine – it was not a simple task to choose the best and most suitable wineries for our Yarra Valley wine tasting tours… but we’ve done it!
Not all wineries in Yarra Valley are equally visually appealing, situated in the equally picturesque landscape and, most importantly, produce equally interesting wines. We had to visit all of them (well, almost all of them :)) to hand pick this list of Yarra Valley wineries where we are taking our guests on wine tasting tours.
Quite a few of those Yarra Valley wineries that we have selected for our wine tastings tours you can see on James Halliday’s Hand Picked Yarra Valley Map, by the way…
There are two distinct (though quite broad) areas where most of the Lower Yarra Valley wineries open for wine tasting are located.
Yarra Glen – Dixons Creek area
Coldstream – Healesville area
On any given day of our wine tasting tour, we try to choose one of those areas and visit wineries only from that area. It is not very practical (though it happens) to visit a mix of wineries from both areas in one day because you will spend more time in the car while we are driving long distances than tasting Yarra Valley wines.
We don’t want this – do we? :)
Maybe some wine lovers wouldn’t agree with our choice of Yarra Valley wineries. That’s the beauty of wine! This is a whole big world of choices. Everyone has a different taste – never boring.
However, this is Three Koalas pick and we stand by it!
