Description
Founders Marc and Eva Besen purchased the property at TarraWarra Estate in 1979, initially as a family retreat. Thanks to their love of the wines of Burgundy, and with encouragement from legendary Yarra Valley winemaker Dr John Middleton, they planted the first 6 hectares of Chardonnay and Pinot Noir in 1983. Forty years on, the 400-hectare property now encompasses 26 hectares of vines, an extensive nature reserve, cattle grazing, a kitchen garden and our beautiful cellar door and restaurant. The vision to create and share a unique and beautiful place is driven by gratitude to this country that opened its arms and homes when Marc Besen arrived in 1947. Together we strive to fulfil his vision for TarraWarra Estate, as custodians, we are defined by heritage and a deep sense of place.
The TarraWarra Estate vineyards are managed by Stuart Sissins, Chris Beard and their team. Chris commenced with TarraWarra Estate in September 2023 when we took over the long-term lease of Swallowfield vineyard in Gembrook. Their knowledge of every site on both properties is a constant in informing the decisions of the future.
While TarraWarra Estate is best known for exceptional Chardonnay and Pinot Noir, more recent additions have attracted much attention. These include Shiraz, Barbera and Nebbiolo.
TarraWarra Estate’s respect for sustainability and provenance make the property an internationally recognised place to visit in the Yarra Valley. Our subterranean cellar door provides an unforgettable tasting experience, while the deck shaded by peppercorn trees, and with expansive views of our surrounds, is the perfect place to linger over a glass of wine. Our one-hat restaurant, with Head Chef Maxwell Parlas, have created a wonderful dining experience with a menu inspired by our kitchen garden and local suppliers.
