TarraWarra Estate is a winery operation located in Yarra Glen, Victoria, Australia, with a long-running focus on Chardonnay and Pinot Noir alongside newer varieties such as Shiraz, Barbera, and Nebbiolo. The property spans around 400 hectares, featuring 26 hectares of vines, a nature reserve, cattle grazing, a kitchen garden, and a cellar door and restaurant that offer a tasting and dining experience anchored in the site’s landscape and provenance. The vineyards are managed by a team led by Chris Beard, who joined in 2023, reflecting ongoing investment in site knowledge and stewardship of multiple vineyard sites. The estate emphasizes sustainability and a sense of place, aiming to provide visitors with an authentic Yarra Valley experience at its subterranean cellar door and shaded deck overlooking the surroundings. The business, founded by Marc and Eva Besen in 1979, is rooted in a historical commitment to sharing a distinctive place, and it operates a one-hat restaurant led by Head Chef Daniel Snooks that draws inspiration from the kitchen garden and local suppliers.
