Yarra Glen

The town itself is set amongst the rolling hills of the fertile Yarra Valley which is home to a large number of vineyards. Yering Station, just south of the town centre on the Melba Highway, was Victoria's first vineyard and features beautiful gardens, a winery complex and the historic Chateau Yering (built in 1854) which is now a hotel and dining venue. Following the Melba Highway north of Yarra Glen and onto Dixons Creek takes travellers to the De Bortoli winery. It is one of the region's largest with over 240 hectares of vines, a cellar door, restaurant and beautifully landscaped grounds.
