Yering Station
Winery Overview
Yering Station has been core to the Victorian wine story for almost two centuries. With vines first planted in 1838, Yering Station is proudly the state of Victoria’s first vineyard. To this day, we’re proudly family owned and operated.
Established in 1838 by the pioneering Ryrie brothers, Yering Station was originally a small vineyard and cattle farm. Changing hands between families throughout the centuries that followed, the Rathbone family ultimately purchased the property in 1996 and have since expanded it into a world-class winery and destination.
Yering Station’s home, the Yarra Valley, is considered one of Australia’s premier cool climate wine regions, celebrated for exceptional Pinot Noir and Chardonnay. Our vineyards sprawl across five owned sites in Yarra Glen and Coldstream, sub-regions of Yarra Valley. They’re planted with an array of varieties, Pinot Noir and Chardonnay at the forefront, but also Shiraz, Cabernet, Viognier and more. Their family of vines are carefully managed by cutting-edge precision viticulture technology along with many patient hands to ensure the highest quality fruit arrives into the winery and ultimately the bottle.
Since establishment, Yering Station’s ambition has always been to simply make great wine. They believe that each great wine should express their individual epitome of time, place and effort - bringing the vineyard to the bottle. In the vineyards and in the winery, they manage a careful balance of tradition and innovation; employing age-old techniques supported by modern advances, all of which culminate to highlight our distinctive cool climate hallmarks.
