    Domaine Chandon

    Guided Sparkling Tasting at Chandon There's a particular kind of pleasure in tasting sparkling wine where it's actually made — in the Yarra Valley, where cool mornings and slow-ripening autumns give these wines their nerve and their finesse. Your guided tasting at Chandon is built around that sense of place, and around you: a small group, an unhurried pace, and someone walking you through every glass. This isn't a quick pour at a crowded bar. You'll settle in and taste your way through a considered flight of sparkling Take the time to enjoy a tasting of 5 sparkling foundation wines in the dedicated tasting room. Hear more about the Chandon brand and their journey to Australia. You will have time to visit the gift shop and the terrace and take a look at the Homestead before heading to a wine tasting followed by lunch at Soumah or Tokar Estate.
