Chateau Yering Yarra Valley Melbourne Australia
See the tall Chilean Wine Palm behind the Chateau Yering?
This was planted in 1867 by Baron von Mueller, now classified by the National Trust. This view of the back of the historic house with white walls is not the best at all... it is a Relais & Chateaux top rated place.
To its left here is a red brick building which houses Matt's Bar and cosy warm Cafe where we had lunch under $20 ea. above the Cellar door with its art gallery and top produce shop.
However The Sweetwater Cafe, in the old homestead looks like a good place for lunch under $40? if you are careful. It is open 7.30am – 5.00pm daily but requires a booking from those not staying in the Chateau.
