Podcasts about Yarra Valley

If your destination is trying to turn road trips into overnight stays, Yarra Valley and Dandenong Ranges in Victoria, Australia is one to watch. CEO Louise Scott of Tourism East tells us how the region's 2023 destination management plan is helping local tourism businesses diversify their offerings to help them adapt to changing attitudes towards wine and alcohol and balance visitation patterns by attracting weekday stays. She shares the strategies that are shifting both experiences and perceptions of this internationally known wine region. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

A une heure de Melbourne, Yarra Valley est l'une des plus belles réussites du fantastique vignoble australien, célèbre pour sa production de Chardonnay et Pinot Noir.Hébergé par Ausha. Visitez ausha.co/politique-de-confidentialite pour plus d'informations.

Simon Nash speaks with Stuart Dudine about the wine brand he has passionately built in the Yarra Valley.Great wines and a great story.@thewineshowaustralia @alkimiwines

Send us Fan MailA winemaker gets cut, a flagship winery gets prepped for sale, and suddenly we are not talking about tasting notes anymore. We dig into the Oakridge bombshell: David Bicknell, the winemaker many credit with changing the direction of Australian Chardonnay, is made redundant after decades shaping the Yarra Valley's most influential single-vineyard wines. The language around it matters, the emotion is real, and the business logic is confronting.From there we zoom out into the Australian wine industry crisis and the structures that helped create it. We talk Endeavour Group, Dan Murphy's, BWS, Woolworths, Coles, and the retail duopoly that has both selling power and buying power. We unpack “ghost brands”, why shelf space is everything, and how vertical integration can turn a product built on provenance and story into a price-led commodity. We also revisit the political side: ACCC scrutiny, Senate inquiry warnings, and how quickly important reform can disappear when the spotlight moves on.We do not pretend there is one simple fix, but we do land on practical actions for drinkers who want better wine and a healthier industry: check the back label, understand who is importing and controlling the brand, and buy direct from small producers when you can.

“I don't see any ceiling for non-alc beer.”It's fair to say there were plenty of skeptics when non-alcoholic beer first started to appear in earnest in the local beer scene. Yet, in the half-decade-plus since we ran a blind tasting featuring early entrants to the market, the sector has grown and grown.While some brands have come and gone, there's a growing number of established brands and many other breweries for whom their non-alc range forms a significant part of their sales. What's more, Bridge Road Brewers and, more recently, Heaps Normal have started putting non-alc beer on tap.To assess where the market sits, where it could be heading, and why it's come so far already, we pulled together a panel from different facets of the beer world.Molly Rose founder Nic Sandery is the brewer behind both Molly Rose and Hiatus non-alcs, Sam Bethune is a former brewer who's now a technical sales specialist at Bintani, and former Fixation main man Tom Delmont brings a sales and brand perspective from his role at Hop Nation, who produce a broad range of alcohol-free beers.We look at advances in technology, processes and ingredients, the dos and don'ts of non-alc brewing, take lessons from overseas, and attempt a spot of crystal ball-gazing.This week's opening is a global affair with James recently landed in London amid a European heatwave that looks a lot like Australia in January – albeit without aircon... We discuss two venue openings in the Yarra Valley and the Sunshine Coast, the relaunch of the Tasmanian Beer Trail, and our plans for a hiatus of sorts of our own.Throughout July, we'll still be reviewing the week in beer on the show, but instead of featuring new longform interviews we'll be running some of our favourites from the past two years. With James in the UK and our producer heading to the US soon – plus a major new project coming to a head – we didn't want to risk breaking ourselves any more than we already do!Start of segments: 0:00 – The Week On Crafty 16:21 – Price Screen & Digital 17:26 – Non-Alc Panel Part 1 39:08 – Industry Insights With American Canning Machines 40:15 – Non-Alc Panel Part 2To find out more about featuring on The Crafty Pint Podcast or otherwise partnering with The Crafty Pint, contact craig@craftypint.com.

Billy Crombie and husband Max (Mohammed) Kamil Hassan don't run a typical regional restaurant. At Babaji's Kerala Kitchen, set in a restored 1936 cabaret hall on the edge of Warburton in Victoria's Yarra Valley, they have built something closer to a cultural bridge, and, for many Southern Indians, a portal back home. In this conversation, Billy talks through everything from the ritual of pouring a steaming davara coffee and the pull of nostalgia, the familiar feel of Kerala recreated in the hills and the importance of community. She reflects on the challenge of staying fiercely authentic in a market that doesn't always understand South Indian food, the unlikely journey from a market stall to a destination restaurant people will drive hours to reach, and the deeply personal mix of place, identity and community that underpins everything Babaji's has become. It was such a great chat and Billy gave me lots of delicious curries to take away and try with my friends in Warburton, which was generous and lovely.

When he took over the family wine business in 1994 at the tender age of 33, Darren De Bortoli continued a legacy his father Deen had built on that was De Bortoli Wines, centred around the vineyard his grandfather planted in the NSW Riverina. Darren was a young superstar, having created as a newly qualified winemaker in 1982, the acclaimed Noble One Botrytis Semillon – to this day a globally renowned, medal-winning sticky wine, and a wine that quickly catapulted De Bortoli Wines into massive growth. The company moved into other wine districts like the Yarra Valley, King Valley and more recently Rutherglen in Victoria, and also the Hunter Valley. Under Darren’s leadership they pioneered environmentally sustainable winemaking practices and today they grow wheat, barley and oat crops using eco-friendly waste water from the wineries. Today De Bortoli Wines is the 6th largest wine company in Australia by revenue, yet still Australian and family owned and run. But as he reflects on the great legacy he’s helped build, Darren De Bortoli is candid about the considerable challenges he and others face: namely water access and climate change, a global wine glut and a downturn in wine consumption. Hope you enjoy Darren De Bortoli.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Australia is best known for its Shiraz. Big bold Shiraz and Cabernet Sauvignon from Barossa Valley, McLaren Vale, and Coonawarra. These are all from South Australia.We have talked about Western Australia (Margaret River) known for Cabernet Sauvignon and Chardonnay.Yarra Valley in Victoria is a cooler region known for its Chardonnay and Pinot Noir.Tasmania is off the south Coast of Australia and is an island. This is a cooler region and produces sparkling wines, Pinot Noir, and Chardonnay.Riesling is normally dry and crisp and best known for coming from the Clare Valley and the Eden Valley. Barossa Valley: Famous for bold Shiraz.Coonawarra: Renowned for rich Cabernet Sauvignon.Margaret River: A key region for elegant Chardonnay and Sauvignon Blanc blends.Clare Valley: Known for world-class, dry Riesling.McLaren Vale: Produces excellent Grenache, Shiraz, and GSM blends.Yarra Valley: A cooler climate region well known for quality Pinot Noir. Tonight, we are tasting:2020 Koonunga Hill, Shiraz Cabernet. Penfolds Wines South Australia. The winery is one of the best known in Australia and was established in 1844. Deep purple color, sweet dark dense berries, chocolate. Medium acidity, full-bodied, 14.5% alcohol. Flavors of vanilla bean creaminess and warm spice. Dried rosemary and sage might give appearance of earthiness. I purchased at Costco for $8. I mostly saw this wine running around $11, but I did see an online clearance sale (at Fine Wine and Good Spirits) for $4.33 (it said $11.26 off). The wine comes from the South Australia, but is a multi-regional blend. 65% Shiraz and 35% Cabernet Sauvignon.2020 Max's Shiraz Cabernet Penfolds. I purchased this wine at WineStyles for $17.00. Wine Enthusiast says aromas of blackberry jam, cherry cordial, pencil shavings and sweet vanilla bean-and-dark-chocolate oak influence. Rich, balanced acidity with tannins in the background. Could benefit from a few more years of aging. The wine scored a 92 from Wine Enthusiast. 70% Shiraz and 30% cabernet Sauvignon. 14.5% alcohol.2021 Bin 28 Shiraz Penfolds. Purchased at Wall to Wall Wine for $30. Wine Enthusiast says dense, ripe and powerful with quite a bit of oak. Chocolate with dark fruit and pepper spice on the nose. Flavor is rich and luscious, muscular tannins support rather than overpowers. Could age for a few more years. The wine was scored a 93 from the Wine Enthusiast. The wine is aged in American Oak for 12 months. 14.5% alcohol.We both liked #2 Max's Shiraz/Cabernet the best, and we thought this was the best buy of the night. I also liked #3 Bin 28 Shiraz, a very powerful fruity-oaky wine. I felt it lost a little balance because of the amount of oak, Denise didn't care for it's finish. Neither of us really cared for #1 Koonunga Hill, Shiraz/Cabernet. Next week we are exploring white wines of Australia.

Send us a textBushfire season has arrived with brutal force, impacting Victorian wineries - this extra episode is to answer your questions around what this means.From Strathbogie Ranges and Yea through to watch zones near the Yarra Valley, we map the fire lines, the shifting winds, and the hard choices facing growers who are only weeks from harvest. It's not just scorched rows and lost stock; the bigger, quieter threat is in the smoke you can't taste on the grape but can't ignore in the glass.We break down smoke taint in plain language: how guaiacol and m‑cresol bind to sugars in the vine, why reds are at higher risk, and how distance, density, and duration of smoke shape outcomes. You'll hear how bench ferments and AWRI testing guide go or no‑go calls, why thresholds are so unforgiving, and when it makes sense not to pick at all. Along the way, we talk logistics on the ground—melted dripper lines, charred posts, closed roads, and the heartbreak of not being able to turn on irrigation during a heat spike. Spring frosts have already clipped yields in parts of Yarra and Beechworth, so the supply cushion is thin, and cellar doors are closing to keep roads clear, hitting tourism and cash flow at the worst moment.Through it all, the wine community is rallying—offering fruit, sharing testing know‑how, and keeping information moving. If you want to help, start with your glass: buy Victorian wine, and where possible buy direct so every dollar lands with the producer.

Vi har ikke alle vinlande med i konkurrencen ej heller alle verdens dyreste vine.   Afsnittet er optaget med 50 medsmagende gæster hos Bech/Bruun advokater i Aarhus d. 14. november 2024.   Benspændet er vine og lande som René har udvalgt i et prisleje på omkring 300 kr flasken.   Vi smager chardonnay fra Australien, Frankrig, New Zealand, Sydafrika og USA.     Vi skal selvfølgelig også i dybden med druesorten - hvad er chardonnay, hvordan smager den og hvorfor er den så anerkendt i den brede befolkning og hos vinmageren?   Vi snakker også om chardonnays udtryk i de forskellige lande samt produktionsmetoder og stilarter.   Hvilke to ord vil René sætte på chardonnay-stilen fra hvert af de deltagende lande?     Vinderlandet kan vi ikke afsløre her, der må man lytte med.     Vi smager på følgende vine. NB! Rækkefølgen her er alfabetisk efter land vi og altså ikke resultatet af smagningen eller rækkefølgen vi smager dem i i udsendelsen.     - Giant Steps, Yarra Valley, 2022, Australien   - Saint-Véran, Bourgogne, 2022, Frankrig   - Kumeu River, Kumeu, 2023, New Zealand   - Hamilton Russel Vineyard, Walker Bay, 2023,  Sydafrika   - Sandhi, Santa Rita Hills, 2022, USA         .....................

Send us a textGary first met Wayne and Marina through artist and previous podcast guest Tony Mighell. We spoke to them over zoom a few weeks ago from their home in Melbourne. Thanks for speaking to us about your artwork and time in the art centres near Alice Springs. Wayne Eager is represented by Australian Galleries - 'Wayne Eager is a gestural artist, absorbed with form, colour and texture. His method is based on the accretion of subsequent layers from which his paintings find their form. He was a founding member of the dynamic artist-run-exhibiting space, Roar Studios, in Fitzroy, Melbourne, the first such venture in Australia. His early works were exhibited there in 1982.Eager has spent much of his career living and working in the remote Central Australian Desert. His experience of the light and unique features of the Northern Territory landscape have been the fundamental foundation to his oeuvre over the last 30 years.In 2021, Eager relocated back to semi-rural life in the Yarra Valley, Victoria. In the same year, the artist was honored by a 30-year survey exhibition, ‘Bitumen and Dirt', which opened at the Charles Darwin University Gallery, Darwin, and then travelled to the Araluen Art Centre in Alice Springs.'Marina Strocchi is also represented by Australian Galleries - 'In 2021 Marina Strocchi returned to her home town Melbourne after a twenty-nine year sojourn in the Northern Territory. Strocchi was closely involved in supporting the development of a number of First Nations artists, initially through establishing the Ikuntji Art Centre in 1992 and then working with the Kintore women to catalyse their painting which led to a vigorous output through Papunya Tula. During these decades she developed her painting responses to the remote landscapes and narratives that are unique to the Central Desert. Strocchi has held over forty solo exhibitions including a Northern Territory touring survey exhibition with an accompanying catalogue. Awarded an ARTS NT Fellowship in 2019 Strocchi had a three month residency in New York City. Now settled in the Yarra Valley Strocchi is responding to memories of that experience and absorbing her new environment.
