Welcome to our Cellar Door Experience
We are a small, family owned boutique venue and are open from 11am-5pm, 7 days a week (excluding Christmas Day, Boxing Day and New Years day).
At Yileena Park we specialize in aged red wines which are cellared for four years before release with our Reserve wines cellared for six years before release.
We are also known for our Museum wine range which can be purchased at Cellar Door only (please note Museum wines are not available for tasting). However, for the very first time we have decided to add one of our Museum wines to your tasting experience. Our current Museum wine on tasting is our 2007 Merlot which we have re-released and proves to be an absolute stunning wine.
We offer a personal wine tasting experience and pair our final wine, an Aged Topaque (also known as Hungarian Tokay) perfectly with a sample of our French oak smoked Stilton blue cheese.
In addition to our wines we offer for purchase a tasting plate of our French oak smoked produce which have a selection of our smoked Stilton blue cheese, two year old cheddar, kalamata olives, extra Virgin olive oil, dukkha, vinegar, salts, mixed nuts and bread and crackers. We can offer gluten free crackers if required. Tasting plates are $15 per person.
We also have a range of French oak smoked cold meats which are available for $20 each and served with a smokey chipotle chilli sauce and an onion and chipotle sauce.
Due to COVID19 restrictions we have very limited seating and person capacity. We are currently limited to accommodating 10 people inside and 16 people outside on our balcony. Our balcony is weather dependant so please check with our Cellar Door staff before booking.
Bookings are essential due to limited seating and we take bookings from 11am with the last booking time being 4pm.
Bookings currently can be made online through our ‘Contact Us’ page, phoning our Cellar Door on (03) 9730 1977, Instagram or Facebook DM or via email info@yileenapark.com.au.
Wine tastings are $10 per person non-refundable and are for approx. 45 minutes, but of course if you need a quicker time we can accommodate.
When you arrive please scan the QR code with your phone camera that is located on the front door of our Cellar Door before heading upstairs. The QR code will prompt you to sign in to our venue.
As we are a small boutique winery we do not accept large groups, hens or bucks parties.
We look forward to meeting you!

Great winery, great owners
Bob and Diane are passionate producers who care about their craft and their customers. You will get to hear all about each wine, its path from the vineyard to your palate, and tips for food or cellaring. They also do very impressive smoked foods using wine barrel chips which creates a unique flavour. Highly recommended.

Great wine, and cute animals
Stopped by because it was close to our accommodation, and the proprietor Dianne was super helpful and friendly. We chose a rose to go with our dinner, and liked it so much we stopped by the next day to grab another bottle. The two donkeys are adorable and friendly, and Dianne even let us feed them, which was kinda fun.

Amazing tasting, learnt so much and laughed so hard
We stopped at Yileena Park as part of our winery tour and it was honestly the best part of our day. Bob who did the tasting with us was the most informative and knowledgeable host. He provided us with such a fantastic overview of his property and how the wines are made, taught us how to swirl, answered all our questions and was such a great storyteller. He was also hilarious, had us all in tears and is the most open and honest person I have met. At times we felt like we were at a comedy show. Sitting on the balcony, enjoying the wines and learning about the area made for such a relaxing afternoon (Bob has us all laughing so hard for telling my sister to stop moving around). I also had one of the best cab sav's I have ever had. Will make sure to stop past here next time we are in the area. Thank you Bob for a truly memorable authentic experience.

MUST DO!
My partner and I stopped at Yileena Park on a tour we booked of the Yarra Valley. It was our favourite stop of the entire day and something we still talk about months later. Bob and Di were such wonderful and knowledgeable hosts. The wines we tried and platters we tasted were incredible, truly one of a kind. We cannot wait until we can go back. A truly beautiful spot!

Excellent tasting experience
We enjoyed an excellent tasting experience at Yileena. It’s a boutique so there is a limited range but we liked them all. We sat on the deck and enjoyed the view during the tasting. Bec provided excellent service - very knowledgeable about the wines. She also provided carrots so we could feed the donkeys!

A wonderful place in the Valley.
My wife and i stopped here on the way to our accommodation. We were met by Diane who was the most amazing host. We had a tasting of the delicious wines. We also had the smoky cheese and olives tasting. They were all amazing. We bought quite a lot of these products with us. I would highly recommend a visit here to everyone.

Quaint, must-see, favorite hidden gem!
Absolute must-see in the Yarra valley! We had a gorgeous view from the second-story patio overlooking the vineyard and the mountains beyond as we tasted our wines. The wines were delicious. They also offer an array of smoked cheeses and meats which they smoke on the wood of the old wine barrels - all of it is delicious! We came for the tasting, and it turned into lunch! Yileena also takes great efforts in sustainability which were really interesting to hear about. As an added bonus, we got to feed and pet their two donkeys, Freckles and Poppy, on our way out! They have their own instagram which I follow now. 100% would recommend this to anyone visiting the area.

Great Afternoon
Dropped in to see Bob for a quick chat, so we decided to order a meat and cheese platter for lunch as well as a wine tasting WOW the food arrived promptly and what a delicious feed, combined with a tasting of such high quality wines we were blown away. A fantastic way to while away a Saturday afternoon. We were that impressed with his boutique wines that we purchased a couple of bottles which we will enjoy very soon. Will definitely return Thanks Bob and Dianne

Exquisite
Bob! We (the 5 of us) loved every single taste of your wine and other produce. Your 2013 Merlot, Merlot Rose, Torque(?), smoked blue cheese, olives, smoked mixed nuts... all of us left super happy. We went to multiple wineries and this one topped the lot. Thank you for sharing with us, chatting with us, and making our rainy Saturday into something truly memorable.

Reviews are fitting...
I can understand why Yileena Park has such great reviews.
We popped in today with our toddler, who loved the team and the donkeys!
The service and wines were both outstanding. The building is unique and checking out.
We will be back.
Highly reccomend a stop here.
