Dominique Portet (Yarra Valley)

Coldstream VIC 3770
Australia
Dominique Portet, from a centuries-old French tradition of wine-making, has created a new family tradition in the Yarra Valley, in Victoria Dandenong Ranges. A must see winery and restaurant.
Before starting his own winery, Dominique Portet was a flying winemaker. He managed Taltarni, and also developed the Clover Hill Vineyard in Tasmania. His brother, Bernard Portet, owns Clos du Val in the Napa Valley.
Making wine is, and always has been, a family affair for the Portets. Now, as tenth generation winemaker Ben Portet returns to his family' Yarra Valley winery, the legacy continues. Ben will ensure that Dominique Portet winery will maintain its place deeply seated in Australian soil but with respect for the combined experience of his forebears from France and his Father and Uncle's pioneering spirit. It's a symbolic international journey of entwining generations through wine.
Simple lunches are available to be enjoyed with wine tastings.
