TarraWarra Estate

The first 10 acres of vines were planted at TarraWarra in 1983 along with the Besen family's vision to produce wines of superb quality and integrity and to share them in a location of great beauty and hospitality. The vineyard sits on 400 hectares of prime Yarra Valley farmland and some thirty years on, we are defined by this heritage and a deep sense of place. Under the watchful eye of winemaker Clare Halloran, all of TarraWarra's wines are meticulously grown, hand picked, vinified and aged on the estate.

TarraWarra Estate is best known as a producer of exceptional Pinot Noir and Chardonnay and we also make several other single block heritage varietals and estate blends. Our wines are made to express the unique terroir of the TarraWarra site, which is comprised of many individual blocks and planted with carefully selected clones, each contributing their own unique characteristics to our wines.

TarraWarra Estate is internationally renowned as an unforgettable wine tasting and restaurant experience in the Yarra Valley. Respect for sustainability and provenance of the estate is integral to everything we do. The estate with its native bushland and waterways is where we cultivate our grapes, make our wine, graze our cattle and grow produce for our restaurant. The estate is the spirit of TarraWarra.

TarraWarra Estate Cellar Door and Restaurant is open Tuesday to Sunday  from 11am to 5pm. Stop by to taste or buy wine with our knowledgeable Cellar Door staff and if you'd like to stay and eat, we serve lunch in the restaurant from 12pm.

The lunch menu is based on seasonal produce and changes regularly. Chef Robin Sutcliffe, sources produce from local providers and grows much of his own produce in the estate's kitchen garden.

TarraWarra Estate is located approximately 50km east of Melbourne's CBD in the picturesque Yarra Valley.
