Exploring the Vineyards
Situated in the upper Yarra Valley on grey loam soil rich in minerals, our vineyards are meticulously managed to produce grapes with unique flavour profiles. The cool climate allows for slow ripening and more complexity and depth in the grapes. Guests can walk through the vines and take in the views of the private gardens, vineyards and hillsides. Each vine is sustainably managed — from liquid fertiliser to thoughtful pruning — creating a balanced ecosystem for vine health and grape quality. We use natural resources and soil nutrients to show our commitment to sustainability and respect for the land.
Types of Grapes Grown
We grow a range of grape varieties that thrive in the cool climate of the Yarra Valley. The main varieties are Pinot Noir, Cabernet Sauvignon and Merlot. These premium grapes are handpicked and crafted to perfection, producing wines with a rich bouquet and oak flavours. We often cool cellar our wines to add depth and complexity so each bottle is ready to drink or age beautifully.
Premium Wines
With aged wines and a boutique approach, Yileena Park produces small-batch wines that showcase the wine expertise and terroir of Yarra Glen.
