Domaine Chandon, Yarra Valley and Skyhigh Mount Dandenong

We visited Domaine Chandon in the Yarra Valley. Moët & Chandon is 'the' French winery and co-owner of the luxury goods company Moët-Hennessy Louis Vuitton. Moët & Chandon looked for places round the world to grow the grapes to produce its wine. These included Brazil, Argentina and obviously Australia...


The building at the front of the winery dates back to the 1800's and now houses the Chandon Sunday School. A weekly meeting of wine tasters - with presumably wine as their religion...


Bottles are stored for a minimum of 3 years. These have been in here since 2009. Each bottle is turned by hand 3 times a day...


The vineyard stretches across the Yarra valley...


Looking around was thirsty work for some...


We then drove up Mount Dandenong to the Skyhigh view. You can just about see Melbourne in the distance - 35km away...


And then a random Giant's Chair...
