Yering Station is a premium winery in the heart of the Yarra Valley, one hour east of Melbourne. Established in 1838 as the first vineyard in Victoria, Yering Station is now one of the most exciting family-owned developments in the wine industry.

In 2004, Yering Station has won the highly coveted International Wine and Spirit Competition Winemaker of the Year award, announced at London's Guildhall late on Wednesday 27 October, 2004.

Wine testing...Yering Station marks the beginning of winemaking in Victoria and was the first vineyard planted in Australia, a landmark in the history and development of the wine industry in Victoria.

In 1837, the Ryrie brothers travelled overland from Monaro in New South Wales with a herd of cattle. They took up a grazing licence of 43,000 acres, an area stretching from Woori Yallock Creek to Olinda Creek, bordered by the Yarra River on the North. They called the property Yering, its Aboriginal name.
In August 1838, they planted their first vines. There were two varieties, black cluster of Hamburg and a white grape called Sweetwater. The first wine was made at Yering in 1845.

William and Donald Ryrie sold Yering Station in 1850. Paul de Castella purchased the property in 1853 and Yering Station took on a new shape, with the establishment of a sizeable vineyard with cuttings imported from France. By 1860, there were 51 acres of vines. The previous year, the winery had been built.
