In Victoria’s Yarra Valley, Chandon now glistens as the latest addition to the prestigious ranks of Ultimate Winery Experiences Australia (UWEA). With its doors open since 1986, Chandon stands as a bastion of sparkling wine excellence, nestled amid the serene, rolling vistas just an hour from Melbourne’s vibrant heart.
As a sparkling Maison under the distinguished banner of Moët Hennessy Louis Vuitton (LVMH), founded by the visionary Robert-Jean de Vogüé in 1959, Chandon embraces a legacy of redefining sparkling wine production.
This Australian chapter of Chandon’s global journey, rooted deeply in the rich Yarra Valley terroir, offers one of the country’s most expansive arrays of méthode traditionnelle wines. Visitors to Chandon are invited to delve into the winemaking process through the Sparkling Brunch and Behind the Bubbles experience.
This exquisite journey commences with a brunch finely paired with Chandon’s sparkling wines, featuring delicacies such as smoked salmon and prosciutto, followed by an interactive blending session in the majestic Riddling Hall. It’s a hands-on approach to understanding the meticulous craft behind each bubble.
