South Australian Food and Wine from Off The Vine

Yarra Valley

If you want to tempt your taste buds and discover new wines then the Yarra Valley in Victoria is a great place to start.

The Yarra Valley was Victoria’s first wine growing district with a history stretching back over 160 years.

It is renowned for producing wines that are suited to cool climate areas. If you are a connoisseur of Chardonnay or Pinot Noir the Yarra Valley is as good as it gets.

The wineries are in relatively close proximity to each other, so you can easily visit a number of cellar doors in one day. With over fifty-five wineries to choose from, it’s the perfect place try super premium wines.

When comes to local produce, a visit to the Yerang Station Produce Store is a must. There is a vast selection to choose from and most of the local producers are represented here. Regional produce is the ideal accompaniment to regional wines.

With everything from jams through to cheeses and chocolates there’s no reason to walk away empty handed.
Many producers can be visited on site, such as the Yarra Valley Pasta Shop. The pasta is made from local produce, and has been admired by international chefs including Antonio Carluccio.

When you're feeling a bit tired after your gourmet discovery tour, finding somewhere to relax is not a problem. You can enjoy the scenic views from Mount Real.

Live amongst the vines at Kiltynane Estate. Sanctuary Park Cottages offer rustic charm for the whole family or for a peaceful getaway there is Toolebewong cottage.

If you or the family need a holiday, there’s plenty to choose from, but if you want to be really indulgent, it’s hard to go past Chateau Yering. This gracious five star luxury hotel offers sumptuous suites with panoramic views of the Yarra Valley.
