Yarra Valley wine is internationally renowned for its quality.
The Yarra Valley wine region is located in the northeast of Melbourne and is one of the most popular wine regions in Australia, thanks to its long history of winemaking and a reputation for producing high-quality wines. Not only that, but it’s also a popular tourist destination with many wineries offering tours, tastings and vineyard lunches.
Besides being one of the G8 countries that produce more than 50% of the world's wine (the others being France, Spain, Italy, Argentina, Chile and South Africa), Australia produces both white wines from Riesling grapes as well as reds from Shiraz grapes. The main differences between these two types are their color (white versus red) and sugar content (high versus low). In addition to this distinction between whites vs reds; we can further divide our selection into sweet wines or dry ones.
