New for Domaine Chandon
While in Melbourne recently, I was happy to hear that Domaine Chandon in the Yarra Valley will re-open its revamped tour route around the winery on November 1, taking visitors on a journey through the history and production processes of this famous brand.
Panoramic story panels, audio visual displays and an aerial view of the winery at work will greet visitors to the revitalised centre, where some of Australia’s best sparkling and still wines (under the Green Point label) are made.
Tours will start with a history of Domaine Chandon, which was established in the Yarra Valley in 1986 by France’s Moet & Chandon - and moves into the fruit processing area, where the best action can be viewed during the harvest season each February to May.
The new barrel room exhibit focuses on the still wine process, including the vital role of quality French oak in Green Point wines, while the fabulous Riddling Hall houses thousands of bottles in cave-like conditions.
You can end your tour by ordering a glass of sparkling or still wine in the Green Point Room overlooking the vines and rolling hills. Complimentary tasting plates of cheese, bread and relish are provided with drink orders.
Guided tours run three times daily, or visitors can guide themselves around the exhibits, with notes available in German, French, Cantonese and Japanese.
