One-day tour to Melbourne, Lv's winery.
🍾Location and background: Domaine Chandon Winery is located in the Yarra Valley wine producing region of Victoria, Australia. It is a winery invested and established by Champagne Moet & Chandon in Australia. It is part of the LVMH Group.
🍾Winery Features: Domaine Chandon is famous for producing sparkling wine, which is brewed using traditional techniques and has the characteristics of French champagne.
🍾History and Origin:
In the 1960s, the Moët & Chandon Group began to expand its market outside France on a large scale, establishing Chandon wineries in Argentina, Brazil and California, USA, and achieved great success.
In the 1980s, Moët & Chandon recognised the opportunity to produce premium sparkling wine in Australia. After investigation, they finally found the ideal land at the "Green Point" ranch in the Yarra Valley, where the climate is cool and the soil conditions are excellent.
In 1986, the land became the site of the winery's vineyards. The name of Xiangtong Winery comes from the name of its founder, and it has gradually developed into a benchmark product of Australian sparkling wine.
🍾Renovation and Upgrade:
In 2019, Xiangtong Winery was renovated and upgraded, and the new brand image was spread throughout the bar, restaurant, tasting area and retail area. The renovated winery uses trendy 21st century decoration to showcase the winery's traditions.
🍖Charcuterie board 45%
I highly recommend this charcuterie board, which includes three kinds of smoked meat, pickled cabbage, pickles, chicken liver pate, crackers and baguette. The chicken liver pate was pretty good.
🦪Their oysters are really delicious, you must order them (we ordered 6 at first and they were so delicious that we ordered another plate)
🍛After lunch, you can walk around the winery on your own. In addition to the vineyard, you can also go to the museum in the winery to learn about the whole process of winemaking.
