Yarra Valley Cellar Door

Yarra Valley


There are over 300 wineries in Yarra Valley but only one-third of these open their doors to visitors. This operation in the Alchemy Distillery compound showcases vintages produced by boutique producers without a cellar door, and is a handy stop if you're in Healesville. A tasting of 12 wines costs $15, $10 of which is redeemable on purchase.
