I cannot believe all of the good feedback comments as this was the very worst wine tasting we have ever experienced. There was no greeting or details about the history of Chandon. We were served by a person who not provide us with any napkins. He even poured the different tastings into the same glass, unbelievable. This was an expensive tasting that really left us with a bad taste in our mouths due to how bad the whole experience was. I WOULD DEFINITELY NOT RECOMMEND ANYONE TO PAY FOR A CHANDON TASTING AS UT WAS JUST AWFUL AND A COMPLETE WASTE IF MONEY. read more

We arrived early for our tasting (that we booked months before, but looked like they had room for walk-ins), and are we glad we did. The bar area was beautiful and the Spritz was absolutely delicious! The tasting itself was very well done and they were able to answer all of our questions. We ended up buying a bottle as well as a topper that survived the flight back to the US. I'd definitely recommend Domaine Chandon for anyone in the Yarra Valley! read more

Congratulations. Your restaurant's wait staff was very well versed in your wonderful range of wines, and your wine smellies likewise had such a fantastic depth of knowledge and passion. Thank you for the level of professionalism of your staff. We had great food, amazing service, beautifully made wine, and, just as important, the back story to share with our friends and family when we open one of your bottles of bubbles. We had a wonderful afternoon and will be back. read more

Domaine Chandon is a gorgeous and fancy "winery" that produces and sells champagne. I had never done a champagne tasting before and really enjoyed all the different notes and nuances. The entire estate is very upscale and has beautiful views. They serve food and everything is top notch. This is a large-scale well-known brand so you won't get a mom and pop type of experience but you will have a fabulous time. read more

Amazing Saturday lunch. The stuffed zucchini blossoms were some of the best I've ever had. These were filled with brandade. Very unusual. Pork Main was fantastic but I was a bit full and wanted to bring my leftovers home. Sadly they refused to allow this. Not sure what the reasoning is here. Apparently the server had to ask his manager for permission & it was not granted. Odd read more

I'm more of a microbrewery/ma-and-pop shop girl, so was a little wary about visiting Domaine Chandon with the expectation of an impersonal corporate experience. But it ended up being a surprise highlight of our do-it-yourself winery tour trip. One recommendation is the free guided winery tour. It enhanced the experience and our appreciation for the wines and we also got to visit the locked cellars where the bottles are aged. The property is beautiful - mountains in the distance and on the grounds different coloured rose bushes mark the grape varieties growing behind them. As others have noted, the tasting room is small and crowded. And there are a lot of visitors that come here. But the staff member serving us ($5 for the wine tasting) was both knowledgeable and friendly. And as he, and another reviewer noted, the sparkling pinot shiraz is very popular. I'd certainly stop here again on a winery tour. And it would also serve as a good destination for 'girly' events like an afternoon hens party or shower. read more

I can't understand why anyone would rate this lower than amazing. Yes, it's expensive but hey over the price and enjoy the quality. Fantastic wine, amazing view and beautiful food. I am in heaven. Beautiful day great company wine and food. Come here and enjoy the whole experience. It's only an hour from the city and its so peaceful. Yes, it's not for budget conscious back Packers, but if $60 is ok in you budget for a peaceful and delicious afternoon. Do it! You won't be disappointed. read more

When you pull up to the winery, the scenery will take your breath away. It's an idyllic piece of property that reminds me of an estate somewhere in Europe. The types of varietals at domaine Chandon make use of the grapes that grow well in Australia. There was a sparkling wine using Shiraz grapes that was so flavorsome that I decided to transport it back to the states in my luggage. The folks doing the tastings are knowledgeable and easy to talk to. They showed us the proper way to uncork a bottle of sparkling wine, the knowledge of which I have put to good use since! read more

A very pretty pit stop in the Yarra Valley. This experience was vastly better when I was dragged there on a hen night. That experience was of bad service and rubbish value for money and there wasn't even a snack for everyone. We had a wine tasting, 1 sample of wine is free or all 6 for $5 (which you can redeem against any purchase of a bottle). It was pleasantly surprising to discover a sparkly I liked better than their fanciest kind. What impressed me the most was the staff who remained passionate in describing their wines no matter how many times they explained it to the customers. The vineyard itself is stunning too. I wish I'd known about the free self guided tour but that'll have to be for the next time. read more

If there's one vineyard in the Yarra Valley you have to visit, it's probably Domaine Chandon. With production of over 5 million bottles a year, they really have created a name for themselves worldwide. They have a nice tour with explanations of their production facilities, as well as a nice tasting, restaurant, and view of their vineyards. Their rare sparkling red is a must try, and I love it with just a simple sourdough (only $3.50 AUD!) Beautiful way to spend the day - maybe pair it with a boutique vineyard for some contrast. read more

Domaine Chandon - A nice glass of the brut rose from their tasting - great wine with a great view! - Wineries Near Me - Coldstream, VIC

We love supporting the Ma and Pa wineries more than the big guys, but even we have to put this to the side when showing off the Yarra Valley to friends, as Domaine Chandon is simply one of the most stunning spots around, and with wines to compliment. It says something that neither I nor my partner are big lovers of Sparklings, but even we get seduced by their selections. Don't expect generous tasting serves for your $5 (refundable with purchase, which you will likely do) but with so many people coming through the doors each day you can understand that. They also have a separate space for groups which is very helpful in ensuring you can get to the 'bar' for a taste when you arrive, as it can get *very* busy in there. read more

Had a good tasting here with a smashing Italian (female) sommelier. Despite arriving in the closing bell, she took her time and kept us engaged. Definitely a lovely setting and top quality sparkling wines in particular. Highly recommended. read more

Worth a visit, despite the crowds. They definitely have a long history with sparkling wines and that's evident from the taste. There's a nice self-guided (short) tour you can do with great signage that explains the process for making sparkling wine. The grounds are large and beautifully landscaped, so it makes for great photos. The tasting room will be mobbed, regardless of when you go so just be prepared - the staff seem to handle it efficiently without rushing you. I was happy we were there on a tour with Vinetrekker, as that meant we had a nice reserved spot, away from the crowd. The sparkling shiraz is unique to Australia and quite a treat, and their Brut Rose is also only sold at their cellar so you're practically obligated to bring a few bottles home with you. :-) read more

It's Domaine Chandon......what else can I say?? As others have said I too expected that I would find this winery too commercial but it's not. It is HUGE but it is also quit lovely. And you can walk around and read about the processes which is interesting - however I would recommend doing this sooner rather than later in your wine trip just to ensure you have full comprehension ;-). The sparkling is divine....but I'm sure you already knew that! read more

What is a trip to the Yarra Valley without visiting the place where the beautiful Moet Chandon is made. On a day trip out to the winery region, this was our last stop. The grounds here are absolutely amazing. We drove up the drive way and landed in a perfectly pruned playground where the the roses seem to blossom just that bit more brighter than anywhere else. We were told stories that seemed a tad farfetched but intrigued me to the point of googling if they were actually true. Such things as Moet Chandon hiring helicopters in winter to hover over the vines to keep them from freezing... CRAZY HUH? But very true. We took a tour of the winery and it was such a pleasant experience. We explored the grounds, buildings and were given a detailed explanation of how the champagne is made. We sat and enjoyed some snacks and sipped on a few different types of chanson. The rain kept us indoors but we still enjoyed the view of the gorgeous scenery. read more

Don't get me wrong, Domaine Chandon is a beautiful vineyard selling some pretty top notch wines, it just feels a little soulless to me. Located in the beautiful Yarra Valley, Domaine Chandon is perhaps one of the grandest vineyards in the area and, arguably owing to its affiliation with Moët and Chandon, is probably one of the most popular. Offering tastings, tours and a brasserie serving some beautiful looking food, Domaine Chandon is worth a visit to see the stunningly sprawling vineyard itself. Contrary to popular belief, Domaine Chandon is not owned by the nice people over at Moët but was instead established in the 1980s by a group of Australian wine enthusiasts to grow grapes on behalf of the Champagne behemoth. Although a visit to the Yarra Valley wouldn't be complete without a trip to Domaine Chandon, in my opinion there are better wines - and more charming vineyards - to be found elsewhere. read more

I've been here on a few occasions now as it's one of the mandatory stops on wine tours for good reason. Yes it screams "corporate" but it's also beautiful, spacious and even for a non-champagne lover like me, I was able to find something to enjoy. (Sparkling pinot noir and cuvée riche are delightful!) You can arrange a food pairing or tasting with your wine tour, to sample the many types of sparkling wine. You can also just pop in unannounced and step up to the tasting bar or buy a glass or bottle to sip outside. There is a restaurant if you want a full menu or just a cheese platter and fresh oysters. There is an area to tour for free and see how it's made or just wander the vineyard and take photos. However don't attempt to bring any outside food or drinks. read more

The king of sparkling wine place. The cold food at the restaurant was good with the sparkling wine and. Weekend is crowded because of its popularity. I visited Napa's one and it's different because it has the self factory tour it is good to learn how the wine is made. read more

Went with a few friends and got the tour (free), wine tasting (nine types for $5), and an amazing view (priceless). Staff was professional and knowledgeable. Try to avoid the big tour buses or other groups since the tasting room is relatively small. Well worth a visit as part of a trip to Healesville - will definitely be back. read more

Is there a way to give zero stars? Don't order from this company. I spent hundreds of dollars on champagne. The package has been lost and the have been calling and emailing for weeks trying to get a refund. They just ignore me. Their customer service is literally non existent. read more

Domaine Chandon has some good, some bad, and some ugly going for it. The product: top rate, first class, some of the best sparkling wines in the area and they sure produce a lot of it. That's the good. The bad, well, I suppose it goes with the higher end commercialism that comes with their world-famous name. A visit to Domaine Chandon is most definitely worth adding to your list, and the tasting flight of sparkling wines is great fun -- but there are huge busloads of visitors here, and that can detract from the experience just a bit. Lunches and tours are available, and I've experienced both, but I'd say you're better off doing lunch elsewhere and take a trip to Domaine Chandon for all that you'll learn about producing sparkling wines in the region, the technology and people involved in the process, and enjoy the final result in their gorgeous tasting room. My absolute favourite: Their sparkling pinot shiraz. WOW. read more

Born in Louisiana and living in Texas i did not know what to expect. My wifes family lives in the area and we all decided to visit this place on a cold rainy day. Even on a rainy day it was breath taking and beautiful. The samples were awesome and the food was great also. I am planning on moving to the area so im sure i will become a regular. read more

Love love love love this place! The perfect spot for a romantic lunch in the yarra valley. Be sure to book though - I see so many people without a booking turned away every time I come here. Very generous tasting sessions here also, with no fee if you're taking a bottle or two home with you (and it's hard not to!) read more

Came here on a wine tour of the Yarra Valley. This place is huge with large industrial production capacity. The wine tasting area is also very large and packed full of people. I thought the place was a bit too commercialized. Our wine tour gave us 1 flute sample of sparkling wine, however if you want to get a full tasting directly with the winery, it cost just $5. read more

I have been to this winery a few times now, and each time is always such a pleasant. It is not far from Melbourne (for a winery), and has the most incredible, beautiful and picturesque landscape. As soon as you turn into the estate, trees greet you on either side of the road, instantly there is a sense of peace and awe. When you walk down to the main building, you see the vineyard stretch on for what seems forever. White lawn chairs on the grass overlook the land and just scream detail to style. The main building here allows you to wine taste and purchase their selection. There is also a lovely restaurant at is equally well planned out and decorated. Chandon is not somewhere you go to have a 'good meal', don't get me wrong, the food is fantastically present and quite tasteful. It's just there is quite a lack of choice, the main course usually offers only 2 options, the rest are entrées and share platters. The food isn't bad, but considering the style and atmosphere of the place, you would expect it to be better. Despite the food I will continue to come here over and over again, just to sit and look at the view. read more

Beautiful location, of course... but there are two things you MUST do whilst you're here: 1. Buy the champagne and strawberry jam 2. Learn how Moet & Chandon is actually pronounced (you'll be surprised). Educational AND tasty! Win win! read more

ambiance//***** a gorgeous driveway leads into the parking area a short stroll will take you to the picturesque winery and tasting building we were seated inside with open window walls that provide excellent visibility to the grape vines outside fun self-paced tour of the winery plus I really love that they kept the original dairy farm's house! service//***** our large party had 3 babies and their waitstaff handled us like pros I tried to surreptitiously pick up the tab, but my cousin yelled, "NO!! It's her birthday!!" so the cashier also refused to take my card =T we wandered to the tour section later on and they were closing, but nice enough to reopen the entrance so we could exit quickly food & drinks//***** as it was a birthday celebration, we ordered a few bottles of champagne . platters of charcuterie . oysters!! =9 everything was yummy and decadently plated as I would expect of Domaine Chandon I'm not sure on the pricing of tasting, but I think it's a lovely venue for a group event ~*~ a fantastic place to spend an afternoon for a celebratory event~ much love to my aussie crew for my memorable festivities~ especially Teresa C.!! read more

Very slick operation but quite commercial. There are nicer boutique wineries that give a better experience.

15 min to get a wine to the table. Told we couldn't have a cheese or meat platter in that section. 15 min to get someone to talk to about it. 15 min to tell us until they couldn't move us to inside only then told by a staff member that surely there were more troubling things in the world than the fact we couldn't eat cheese in the section unmarked as a "drinking only section!" The restaurant was nearly empty, yet refused to allow us to eat a platter outside in the area they classified, drinking only. Terrible experience. I will spend my money where it is wanted from now on. read more
