THE unique sandstone cellar door at Yileena Park has been recessed into a steep hill to ensure cool cellaring of its premium wines.
Climb the superbly timber-panelled staircase to the warmly inviting tasting room which is swathed in Tasmanian Myrtle and features an open fireplace, ornate Victorian mantle, tastefully painted cornice and a beautifully detailed granite-topped bar.
Yileena Park is participating in the Melba Festival from 23 to 25 March and is featuring harpist Stephanie Le Brunt and classical guitarist Kerin Murphy.
Enter and enjoy the ambience of a bygone era when quality, integrity and understated elegance were not fashion statements but hallmarks of a true boutique experience.
This superb building is available for intimate events and open for tastings from Thursday to Sunday from 11am to 5pm. Phone 9730 1977.
Yarra Valley Wine Hub
THE Wine Hub is the cellar door for a group of emerging artisan wine makers that make small amounts of wine in traditional ways.
Located at the Yarra Valley Dairy, the Wine Hub offers sales and tasting of wines with distinctive vineyard characters for wine producers that do not have their own cellar door.
Wine making practices amongst the producers are traditional and natural, resulting in wines that are complex, savoury, and representative of the nature of a specific vineyard site.
The Wine Hub is located on the corner of St Huberts and McMeikans Roads, Yering. Phone 9739 0637 or email infor @yarravalleywinehub.com.au.
