CHANDON Australia has opened the doors to its meticulously reimagined historic Homestead, offering a luxurious new space for tastings, gourmet food experiences, and bespoke events amidst the breathtaking Yarra Valley estate.
This is more than just an unveiling; it’s the beginning of a new chapter for CHANDON, one that honours its long-standing winemaking legacy while celebrating Australian craftsmanship and design.
The Homestead is now the home of CHANDON’s renowned Étoile, its premium méthode traditionnelle sparkling wine. Guests can indulge in tailored wine tasting sessions, complete with pairings of local artisan cheeses and canapés, starting at $90 per person for groups of up to ten. For those looking for something truly elevated, the Homestead also offers bespoke experiences such as private garden parties, intimate wine tastings, and even tableside cooking.
The building itself is equally as impressive as the experiences it offers. Designed by Melbourne-based interior designer Melanie Beynon, the Homestead’s interiors are a stunning fusion of heritage charm and contemporary Australian design. More than twenty Australian artists and artisans have contributed to the striking décor, from the bold works of Jordan Fleming to the sleek creations of Anna Varendorff. Each detail, whether it’s the furniture or the carefully chosen art pieces, tells a story that speaks to Australian craftsmanship.
The light-filled spaces include an elegant lobby, a lounge, and multiple dining and tasting rooms, with a wrap-around verandah that overlooks CHANDON’s picturesque lawn, vineyard, and the serene Oak Garden. These elements make the Homestead the perfect backdrop for indulging in one of Australia’s most extensive collections of premium sparkling wines.
CHANDON’s reimagined Homestead is more than just a venue—it’s an immersive experience that blends history, art, and wine to create something extraordinary in the heart of the Yarra Valley.
