One of the days we were staying with Neil and Noreen out in Blackburn, Noreen took us wine tasting! We went to 2 or 3 wineries, Chandon, TarraWarra Estates, and Train Trak. Chandon is where we started right when they opened and enjoyed a lovely champagne tasting and a neat self guided tour of the champagne making facilities.

TarraWarra Estates had lovely grounds (just like Chandon) with the tasting room overlooking a pond, and a lovely art museum. We caught some of the William Delafield Cook Survey, a photo of one of my favorite pieces is below. The wine at the adjoining winery was pretty good, but not great so we did not purchase anything there.
Our last winery of the day was Train Trak, a really small winery that was built right next to some abandoned train tracks that you actually had to drive over to get to the winery. They had some really yummy wines and we picked one up and enjoyed it at the house one day.
Overall our quick trip to the Yarra Valley wine region was fantastic, and it was so nice having Noreen show us all around (and drive!). We hope to make it out to the wine region again, especially as it's only about 45 minutes to an hour away.
