History of Chateau Yering

Chateau Yering has a rich history dating back to the pioneering days of the Yarra Valley. Built-in 1854 by the Ryrie brothers, the mansion was part of a larger wine-making estate that played a significant role in the development of the Yarra Valley’s wine industry. One of the region’s first major vineyards, the estate put the Yarra Valley on the map as a wine region. Over the years, Chateau Yering changed hands many times, and each owner contributed to the preservation and expansion of the estate. The mansion was converted into a luxury hotel in the 1990s when extensive renovations were done to restore the original grandeur while adding modern amenities. Today the hotel still retains many of its original features including antique furniture, verandas and historic cellar all of which add to its charm.
