Yileena Park is a small boutique winery nestled at the foot of the Christmas Hills just out of Yarra Glen. It’s run by the owners, Bob and Dianne Curtis who share a passion for their winery and the wines they produce. According to Dianne, Yileena Park means, “dream come true”, and for Dianne and Bob it has been just that.
The unique sandstone cellar door has been cut back into the side of a hill to ensure cool cellaring of its premium wines. A timber panelled staircase leads to the warmly inviting tasting room featuring open fire place, an ornate Victorian mantle and a beautifully detailed granite bar. French doors open onto an expansive deck affording views over the dams and to the vineyard beyond. If you like the building it is available for small weddings and corporate meetings.
If you are a foreign tourist you will want to visit late in the afternoon when the kangaroos hop down to graze among the vines. It’s a pretty unique experience, sitting on a balcony enjoying some of the best wine the Yarra Valley has to offer and watching a group of iconic native animals at play.
Yileena Park is one of the nineteen wineries that make up the Smaller Wineries group. This year they are holding the inaugural Harvest Feast on the 27th and 28th of march. For more information on this event click here.
