Chateau Yering

Set in the beautiful Yarra Valley, the heart of Victoria's wine country, Chateau Yering is a window onto Australia's rich past. This Relais & Chateaux affiliate once welcomed parties of Melbourne socialites seeking a country retreat. Just an hour out of the city, the stunningly restored mansion was constructed in 1854 using handmade bricks and cedar timbers from New South Wales. Its thirty-two individually decorated suites offer unsurpassed rural views while cozy guest lounges with open fires are the ideal place for reading, conversing with friends or enjoying a glass of Yarra Valley wine.
