We visited De Bortoli Wines…one of the true pioneers of the Yarra Valley wine scene. And here’s something special… in 2028, this iconic winery will celebrate its 100-year anniversary. A century of winemaking craftsmanship. You can feel that history in everything they do.
What makes De Bortoli even more impressive? They’re not just big, they’re huge. With vineyards spread across four different wine regions in Australia, this family-owned winery has built a legacy that goes far beyond just one valley.
The tasting itself? Exactly what you hope for when visiting a winery like this.
A fantastic host, full of stories and passion.
A stunning location, surrounded by rolling vineyards.
And of course… exceptional wines.
Now let’s talk highlights 👇
🍷 The 2016 Reserve Chardonnay – rich, elegant, and perfectly balanced. This one truly stood out.
🌸 The Rosata – fresh, vibrant, and dangerously easy to drink. Loved that rosé!
🎄 And then… the grand finale: “Christmas Cake in a glass.”
Yes, really. Sweet, warm, full of spices: a dessert wine experience you have to try for yourself.
This is why we love traveling. Discovering places with history, passion, and flavors that surprise you.
If you’re planning a trip to the Yarra Valley, make sure this one is on your list.
