Yarra Valley, historic Australian wine region just north east of Melbourne, victoria, that is cool in both senses of the word. Its 120 producers make internationally recognized Chardonnay and Pinot Noir and, increasingly, Shiraz as well as iconic Cabernet blends including Mount Mary Quintet, Yarra Yering Dry Red No 1, and Yeringberg. Ever-changing vistas from hillsides of valley floor make it a thriving centre for wine tourism. Melbourne is but one hour away.
