Modern Yarra Valley wines generally include a range of premium red and white table wines, made from an established set of grape varieties in different mesoclimates. Overall, Chardonnay was the dominant variety here in the recent past, although it has now been surpassed by Pinot Noir.

Comparisons between the Yarra Valley and Burgundy are not unknown, not only because of their preferred grape varieties, but also because they share a cool climate and undulating topography – interrupted by escarpments and ridges. The Yarra Ridge, in particular, bears more than a passing resemblance to a mini Cote d'Or, and it is at the eastern foot of the slopes that some of the oldest and most-prestigious Yarra wineries are located. Yering Station – the first commercial winery in Victoria – lies just beyond the lower slopes of the ridge, while Yarra Yering is just a few miles to the east.
