With the vision of creating something beautiful for others to enjoy, founders Marc and Eva Besen first planted ten acres of vines on TarraWarra Estate in 1983, which was the beginning of something undeniably special. Forty years on, the twenty-six hectares of vines sits on prime Yarra Valley farmland, defined by heritage and a deep sense of place.

TarraWarra Estate is best known for exceptional pinot noir and chardonnay, alongside other single block heritage varietals and estate blends. These wines express the unique terroir of the TarraWarra Estate site, which is comprised of twenty-four individual blocks and planted with carefully selected clones, each of which contributes distinctive characteristics to the wines. All wines are meticulously grown, hand-picked, vinified and aged on the estate. Eleven varieties are grown across the Estate, including chardonnay, pinot noir, shiraz and merlot, along with small volumes of barbera, nebbiolo, marsanne, roussanne and viognier.

The beautiful TarraWarra Estate property is internationally recognised as a notable Yarra Valley destination, rooted by the estate’s respect for sustainability and provenance. The subterranean cellar door and deck shaded by native pepper berry trees offers a remarkable tasting experience, while head chef at the TarraWarra restaurant, Joel Alderdice, crafts a menu influenced by the kitchen garden and locally grown produce. The restaurant has been awarded a Chef’s Hat by The Age Good Food Guide for the last four years, a testament to the passion and pursuit of flavour of the kitchen team.
