Wineries & Vineyards
Yileena Park is a family owned Cellar Door, Winery and Vineyard located in the beautiful Yarra Valley just one hour drive north east of Melbourne. The vinyard was established in 1998 and comprises 5 acres of Pinot Noir, 5 acres of Cabernet Sauvignon and 2.5 acres of Merlot. It is situated on a north facing slope at the base of the Christmas Hills which keep it cool and protected. And the grey loam soil surfaced over a rock studded clay base make it ideal for growing premium wine grapes. The vineyard is pruned to produce between 1-2 tones of fruit per acre which allows the vines the opportunity to completely ripen the fruit. Our watering system is an American Sub-surface drip irrigation type, which delivers the water and organic liquid fertilizer directly to the vine’s roots. It allows for excellent control over our watering which we judiciously monitor. The unique sandstone cellar door at Yileena Park was opened in 2006. It is anchored back into a steep hill to ensure cool cellaring of our premium wines as the ground floor is virtually buried underground. Climb the superbly timber panelled stair case to the warmly inviting tasting room which is swathed in Tasmanian Myrtle and features and open fire place, an ornate Victorian mantle and a beautifully detailed granite bar. French doors open onto an expansive deck affording views over the vineyard and the beautiful Yarra Valley. The deck is the perfect place to relax and enjoy a glass of wine with a pre-ordered cheese platter. When you visit Cellar Door you must also sample our unique smoked delicacies. These are infused with the smoke from old wine barrels and the combination of wine and oak flavours imparts an amazing flavour that needs to be tasted to be believed. Our smoked products are only available at Cellar Door and include smoked salt, olives, nuts, mustard, olive oil, red wine vinegar and cheeses. With such close proximity to Melbourne this stunning Celar Door, Winery and Vineyard is so accessible. We look forward to seeing you when you are next in the Yarra Valley.

    We visited the animal sanctuary as part of our day excursion to the Yarra Valley. The sanctuary is a good size and splits into 3 main areas which you can explore. There is plentiful to see and all the animals are native to Australia. We particularly liked the animal hospital where you can watch the vets perform procedures on their rescue animals. One thing to keep in mind is that there is not much cover between the trails, so keep that in mind if you’re visiting on a rainy day. There is also not too many food options so maybe consider bringing your own meal and snacks particularly if you’re in a big group as the food is a bit pricey.

    We had a wonderful tasting inside before taking some bottles outside to enjoy while overlooking the vineyards. A lovely way to spend an afternoon.
    The staff were welcoming and helpful, and we enjoyed the wine and snacks we ordered. I would recommend Chandon to anyone looking for a nice experience at a winery in Yarra Valley.

    We were brought here by a friend wanting to show us the best of Australia. The food was delicious and the service was good. It was a bit pricy, but well worth the money.

    We had a private party at Gallery. Great food and wine. Starting from the reservation (Dylan) up to the time we were leaving, the entire team was friendly and supportive.

    My wife and I visited this place a few days ago, as part of our holiday in Mount Dandenong where we stayed for two nights in a holiday cottage.

    This was our second visit, as we were here two years ago. We enjoyed our previous visit so much that we wanted to visit again.

    The collection of plants and the design of the Gardens are magnificent. We were here at 10 am on a Wednesday morning when it was not crowded, which made it more pleasant for walking across the whole place.

    I did the trail from Warburton to Milgrove and slightly beyond. Very easy flat trail. Very pleasant for an easy walk especially when the weather is nice. Some lovely trees along the way. Past Milgrove, it was more open areas, and less shady.

    Brilliant day! Despite it being hot, there were so many areas that were beautifully shaded along the way with plenty of seating scattered throughout.
    I’m limited physically, but managed to walk the entire 7 acres, stopping for rests at the various little oasis’s as we went.
    We took our own sandwiches and ate them in the gardens ( plenty of picnic tables) , then stopped at the lovely courtyard cafe for coffee and cake at the end of our day.
    Very reasonably priced for both our afternoon tea and the plants that we purchased too ( plants that I had been looking for ages elsewhere and hadn’t been able to find).
    Perfect de stress activity and so much to see.
