The winery dress circle of the Yarra Valley
A meandering lane that holds all the history and prestige required for a visitor to truly experience what it means to drink an exceptional Yarra Valley wine. This spectacular natural amphitheatre, formed by the Coldstream and Warramate hills, holds the authenticity, history as well as the new wave of this internationally recognised cool climate region.
The wineries on this trail are a tribute to the area. Home to some of the oldest plantings in the Yarra Valley the true nature of Australia's premier wine producing region is on show here. Holding some of the oldest Chardonnay and Pinot Noir vines in Australia with its cool climate Shiraz and Italian varietals it is a tour de force of quality and dedicated craftsmanship. The winemakers along here deliver the traditional wines to perfection and the new wave blends with innovation that will impress any taste.
Whilst taking in the glorious slopes covered in vineyards you are often blessed with the opportunity to see a local mob of kangaroos bouncing through them, witness the winemakers at work tending the vines and watch the pickers at work taking bunches by hand gently from each vine.
Enjoy the cellar door experience, hear the local stories or stop of at one of the premium cafes or restaurants on this trail.
There are two ways to find this trail, take the scenic drive through the pastureland, orchards and strawberry fields of Coldstream and Gruyere along Killara Rd or start from Maroondah Hwy coming Healesville.
Yarra Valley's Coldstream Trail
…eat, drink, passion and produce…
The ten stops along the Yarra Valley’s Coldstream Trail have been carefully selected for their diversity, passion to their craft, and welcoming attitude.
Been on a food and wine trail? This is different. Why? Well, did you know this trail includes kid friendly activities, has two microbreweries, one of the most spectacular gardens in Victoria, or that Charlie Chaplin fell into a pool here? And that’s just the beginning...
Yarra Valley’s Coldstream Trail offers a triangles slice of diversity, accessibility and a quality that sets it apart. That quality is called passion. And it’s found in the aromas of an oak-laden pinot; in local produce that has been fused in creative and mouth-watering dishes; and in the sweetness of new season fruits you picked yourself accompanied by hand made farmhouse cheeses. Add to this spectacular vistas of rolling countryside and distant mountains at every turn.
Preservation of the trail’s historic roots – firmly embedded in its heritage properties, cellar doors and famed vineyards – is approached with similar heart and soul. The oldest vines in the region provide a rustic setting to drink in times gone-by, peeling back yet another layer of the trail’s remarkable diversity.
Activities for kids and a gourmet break for adults, all in a short 13km loop. On Melbourne’s doorstep and just five minutes from Lilydale, this unique trail, showcases the very best of the Yarra Valley.
