Yileena Park

A small micro boutique winery with some great wine. The owner, Bob, is such a friendly and knowledgeable wine maker who takes great care in explaining about his wines! Will be place I would love to come again for wine tasting and it's cheese platter!

There is a lot to love about Yileena Park! A charming double story cottage with a view! The owner, Bob, took us through the wine tasting and told us many stories! The wine was excellent. And it’s definitely worth buying some smoked products too; I am loving the olives!!

Great wines, they are a different style and variety to your mass produced wines, this place is worth a visit, bought a few to take home. The Topaque and blue cheese goes together really well. It was a good afternoon sitting on the balcony enjoying the view and meeting the Donkeys.

The 5 stars ratings of this amazing vineyard certainly dont lie. Diane is so friendly and love the wine tasting and the oak smoked platters of nuts, cheese and meats. First time trying smoked kangaroo meat with a family of kangaroos hopping around me. Haha! My personal favourite is the blue cheese. Highly recommended and Diane has kindly bubble wrap the wine for us to bring it back to Singapore. Will be back again!

An outstanding find in the Yarra Valley, thanks to our tour guide for the day Craig from the Yarra Valley Touring Company. A place to sit on the deck outside overlooking the surrounds, or a warm spot inside to escape the chill, this really is a wonderful experience. The wine tasting is only matched by the decadence of the house made duck and kangaroo hams with the platters. A match made in heaven.We will certainly return to this little treasure of the valley.

We had a great time sharing wine, and lovely conversation with Bob. Absolutely beautiful wines and food. Highly recommend the kangaroo ham!

Owner (Bob) sat us down and went through a wine flight and was just such a good story teller. Learned about wine, the industry and smoking foods. The smoked blue cheese, smoked olives, and smoked duck were so good, we had to buy them all to take home! As well as a heap of wine. Wine is a bit expensive, but also has been aged, and is good for cellaring, if you can restrain yourself… not sure we will be able to! Also, has two donkeys out the front! Adorable!

This is our second visit to Yileena after our first visit 6 years ago. This became our favorite winery after our first visit, so there was a little trepidation that our second visit might destroy what we have come to love. The second visit impressed us even more than the first, not sure how that was possible. This winery is run by Bob & Diane – a husband wife team who exactly know what they are doing. Diane entertains the guests at their Cellar Door sharing stories about the wine and the deliciously curated accompaniments (Dukkah, Smoked Cheeses, Olives and even Kangaroo ham!). This winery is on a small scale – Bob mentioned that while most wineries harvest 6-8 tons of grapes per acre, their goal is around 2! The entire experience is incredibly personal! We visited during the warmest time of the day, so there were not many visitors, that allowed us an ample time to converse with the Bob & Diane who know exactly why and how they create their wines.The only place to purchase their wine & delicacies is from their cellar door. So be sure to stop by for a tasting or just to shop. It will continue to be a stop that cannot be missed on any future trip to Melbourne!Love from Minnesota!

We had a wonderful time at Yileena Park. Wine and cheese platter were delicious. The balcony has a beautiful scenery. Owners are so lovely, plus they have two cute donkeys. We will definitely come back again.

Had a great afternoon with such friendly and attentive service from Jo. Wine tasting coupled with cheeses and oak-smoked duck and kangaroo were absolutely scrumptious. Little touches like providing our toddler little toys to occupy herself and little crackers were very thoughtful as well as accomodating for the in laws who were non-English speakers. Thank you for such a great afternoon.
