Tarrawarra Estate

Marc and Eva Besen planted Chardonnay and Pinot Noir here in 1983, on the advice of Yarra Valley winemaker John Middleton. Four decades later, winemaker Sarah Fagan — shaped by stints at Littorai, Weingut Leitz and GD Vajra — makes wines from 23.9 hectares of vines. The subterranean cellar door, one-hat restaurant and on-site museum of art are all reasons to stay longer than planned.
