The Yarra Valley wine region is centred by the towns of Healesville, Yarra Glen, Coldstream and the historic township of Lilydale. These towns are the location of the majority of the regions wineries and vineyards.
The regions climate is satisfactory with strong cold winds and frosts being a hindrance. Rainfall subsides just before the harvest time. This creates the need for irrigation during that time.
The Plenty Ranges, Great Dividing Ranges and the Dandenongs border this picturesque region. Vineyards are found throughout the region at elevations of 50m to 400m above sea level. Soils range from a red volcanic soil in the north to a grey loam in the south.
The Yarra Valley region is one of Victoria's most famed and acclaimed regions in existence. The first vines were planted in the late 1830's, with constant expansion throughout the rest of that century.
Swiss and German immigrants who settled before the Great Depression started the first viticultural establishments. From then onwards, this region has been experiencing rapid growth rates with hectares upon hectares dedicated to vines, and millions invested into vineyards, wineries and tourism.Photos
