Yileena Park

In the heart of the Yarra Valley, Yileena Park is the ultimate excellent wine experience for wine enthusiasts. Located on Steels Creek Road in Yarra Glen, this north facing vineyard grows premium wine grapes in the region’s grey loam soil. Yileena Park is all about excellence and our wines have distinct oak flavours, often aged in oak barrels to add depth.

Sustainable Vineyard Practices

At Yileena Park, sustainability is key. We manage the vineyard with minimal intervention to preserve the natural environment, with the vines only receiving organic treatments like liquid fertiliser. This means we get 1-2 tonnes of high quality grapes per acre and we can control every aspect of production. The north facing vineyard gets maximum sun exposure to ripen the grapes and produce wines of extraordinary depth and character.

Award Winning Wines of Distinction

Yileena Park produces a range of exceptional wines, made with a combination of traditional techniques and modern know how. Visitors can try a selection of key vintages including aged wines like our bold Shiraz, elegant Chardonnay and rich Merlot Rose. Each wine showcases the earthy tones and oak flavours of the region and all are aged in high quality oak barrels to add complexity.

What sets Yileena Park apart from other Wineries & Vineyards in the Yarra Valley is our focus on producing wines that reflect the terroir of the land. Our Pinot Noir is known for its fruit forward profile, our Cabernet Sauvignon – Merlot blend for its balance and finesse. Yileena Park also produces nice wines for everyone, from beginners to the seasoned wine enthusiast.

The Cellar Door

Unlike the big wineries in the Yarra Valley, Yileena Park is a more personal experience. Visitors can enjoy a casual and intimate tasting, often with the owners themselves. The granite bar and timber interior create a warm and cozy atmosphere. This isn’t just a wine tasting; it’s a masterclass in winemaking where you can learn about everything from grapes per acre to the intricacies of aging in oak barrels.

When you visit you can explore the whole cellar, designed for cool cellaring to allow the wines to age in perfect conditions. The result is a wine tasting experience that is connected to the land, history and craftsmanship of Yileena Park.

Unique Flavours with Artisanal Skill

Yileena Park’s Smoking Shed is another aspect of the vineyard’s delicious food offering, with a range of smoked delights made on-site. Smoked cheeses, smoked mushrooms, and duck are all part of the artisanal products that are designed to match the wines. The smoked delights are particularly good with the full-bodied reds so that you can experience it all.

Grand and Historic

Yileena Park combines modern winemaking with historic charm. The ground floor of the estate has French doors leading out to vineyard views and beyond. The estate’s Victorian mantle adds a touch of luxury and is perfect for private functions or special occasions. The combination of history and modernity is all about excellence.

Kangaroos and Koalas

Nature lovers will love the wildlife that inhabits Yileena Park. You can spot native animals like kangaroos and koalas while you’re sipping your wine. Seeing Australia’s iconic animals in such a peaceful setting is a bonus to your winery visit.

Private Functions and Events

With its views and intimate setting, Yileena Park is a great venue for weddings, corporate events and private celebrations. The vineyard team can tailor an event package to include fantastic wine tastings, food pairings and access to the estate.
