A jewel in the crown of the Yarra Valley, one of Victoria’s premier tourist destinations, Domaine Chandon has been inducted into the Victorian Tourism Hall of Fame, having won the Winery Tourism category three times. Visitors to the estate experience the winery, the bottling line and the riddling hall, each location explained by informative notes and stunning photography. Visitors can be accompanied by a guide, to receive a complete and fascinating insight into the world of sparkling wine production.

When Moet & Chandon purchased the Green Point property, the original homestead, built around 1880, was renovated and a purpose built winery located next door. Originally a mixed farming property, Chandon and the Green Point winemaking operations are located in lovely grounds amongst the vineyards, enjoying spectacular views across the valley to the mountains. The Colonnade linking the winery to the visitor's centre, with its distinctive link arches, was architecturally inspired by the Chateau of the Champagne Houses of France. The winery was purpose built to architecture which is a marriage of modern, and the traditional Champenoise.

In addition to the Yarra Valley vineyards, Domaine Chandon Australia has established a forty hectare vineyard on the remote, and very cool Strathbogie Ranges, about 150 km north of the Yarra Valley Vineyard. The Strathbogie Vineyard is planted to Chardonnay, Pinot Noir and Sauvignon Blanc, and is called upon to provide distinguished batches of fruit, from highly specialized sparkling wine vineyards, to embellish the superb Chandon Cuvées. Grapes sourced at the Strothbogie site are of world class and yield exemplary varietal wines.

It has also been very successful in export markets, particularly the UK and Japan. The NV Brut is a recent inclusion to the range and has become Chandon's volume leader.
