Our Review
TarraWarra is, and always has been, one of the top-tier wineries in the Yarra Valley. Founded by Marc Besen AC and wife Eva Besen AO, it has operated on the basis that quality is paramount, cost a secondary concern. The creation of the TarraWarra Museum of Art (twma.com.au) in a purpose-built building provides another reason to visit. Changes in the vineyard include the planting of shiraz and merlot, and in the winery, the creation of a 4-tier range: the deluxe MDB label made in tiny quantities and only when the vintage permits; the single-vineyard range; the Reserve range; and the 100% estate-grown varietal range. -JAMES HALLIDAY

Cellar Door
Information
Our subterranean cellar door, designed by Kerstin Thompson Architects, has been designed to give our guests a unique insight into the wines and story of TarraWarra. All of our wines are grown and made from our 28ha vineyard, which is scattered across the 400ha property. A tasting through our range is a journey across the estate as well as through the seasons with each wine capturing something of the essence of TarraWarra. Opened in 2016, the curved stone entrance reveals a truly beautiful, dedicated tasting space, which opens onto our working winery. Bookings are suggested. We have a cellar door dining menu and also a deck to enjoy a glass of wine and the views.
