Yarra Valley
Experience · Victoria, Australia
Melbourne's closest wine region — an hour east. Sparkling, pinot, chardonnay. Domaine Chandon, Yering Station, and TarraWarra are the marquee names; Oakridge and Mac Forbes are where the wine people drink.
Wineries
Yering Station for lunch and the view. Oakridge for the chardonnay and a serious kitchen. De Bortoli for the cheese room. TarraWarra for the art museum on site.
Beyond wine
Healesville Sanctuary for native wildlife done well. Hot-air ballooning at dawn over the vines is the genuine highlight.
