Elmswood Estate








Yarra valley, Victoria
Yarra valley is a large wine making region approximately 48 kilometers east of Melbourne surrounding the Yarra River. "Yarra" means "waterfall" in Aboriginal Australian.

Here the climate is temperate with moderate rainfall and adequate sunlight - ideal conditions to cultivate grapes for wine. This is the reason that in the 1800's European migrants chose this valley to be the location of one of Australia's earliest wine regions. Every year Yarra valley produces many excellent wines available not only to Australia, but also exported all over the world.

Today many tourists visit Yarra valley, not only for her good quality wines but also for the region's astounding beauty.

雅拉河谷, 维多利亚
雅拉河谷葡萄园区位于墨尔本以东48公里处,是与雪梨的猎人谷, 南澳的巴罗萨谷齐名的澳洲著名的葡萄园区, 雅拉河是经过墨尔本市区的唯一的一条河流, “雅拉“源于澳洲土著民的语言, 意思是从山谷中涌出的清泉。

雅拉河谷葡萄园地处雅拉河的上游, 这里气候温和, 雨量适中, 阳光充足, 非常适于葡萄的生长, 所以早在1860年从欧洲来的移民就在这里种植葡萄, 创办了澳洲最早的葡萄酒工场, 每年出产众多的葡萄美酒, 除了供应澳洲本地市场外, 还出口到欧洲,美国和亚洲等地。

今天的雅拉河谷不但以葡萄酒产地闻名于世, 而且还以风景如画, 美酒飘香吸引了大批的游客来这里观光游览。
