Review of Yarra Yering Vineyards

Great wines, amazing venue, but what a shame about their business adaptations to the covid pandemic.

Previously you could experience the cellar door magic and taste the amazing wines with a fair and reasonable tasting fee, refundable upon purchase. Unfortunately now, rather than showcasing a spectacular variety of Yarra Valley wine (and encouraging you to try then buy), their cellar door has turned into you forking out an excessive (non-refundable on purchase) amount for a glorified tasting paddle, essentially killing off the cellar door experience in the process.

I ve always believed in buying direct from the winery, never minded paying for a refundable cellar door tasting, and loved this place for what they offer. But if you want to try their wine, you re now much better off buying a bottle from a retailer than making the trip out there, which in my opinion is a real shame for the area.
