Chandon

A visit to Chandon brings one of the Yarra Valley’s best-known sparkling wine experiences within easy reach of Yarra Valley Lodge.

Set in Coldstream, Chandon is part of the global Chandon winemaking family and has called the Yarra Valley home since 1986. It is known for cool-climate sparkling wine, vineyard views and a cellar door experience that feels polished without needing to take over the whole day.

Why visit Chandon

Chandon suits guests who want to experience the sparkling wine side of the Yarra Valley, with tastings, vineyard views and a cellar door setting that feels generous without needing to take over the whole day. The estate offers wine flights, guided tastings, dining and seasonal experiences, making it an easy addition to a Yarra Valley wineries itinerary.

For couples, it can be a relaxed late-morning or afternoon booking. For small groups, it works well as part of a Coldstream and Yering cellar door route. For international travellers, Chandon is a familiar name in a distinctly local setting, offering a clear introduction to Victoria’s cool-climate wine region close to Melbourne.

How to get there

Chandon is located at 727 Maroondah Highway, Coldstream. From Yarra Valley Lodge, allow around 15 minutes by car, depending on traffic and the route taken. Driving is the simplest option from the Lodge, particularly if you are pairing Chandon with other nearby cellar doors, local produce stops or a relaxed afternoon back on the estate.

Make it part of your stay

We recommend visiting Chandon as part of a slower Yarra Valley wine day, with time left either side of the booking. Start with a relaxed morning in your Golf View Room, head out for a tasting or lunch, then return to Yarra Valley Lodge for an easy evening on the estate or a drink at Lodge Bar.
