Step into French elegance with an Aussie twist.
Domaine Chandon isn’t just another stop on the Yarra Valley map, it’s a bucket-list destination for sparkling wine lovers, scenic sippers, and anyone who appreciates a little luxury in their glass.
Founded by Moët & Chandon, this showstopper winery delivers fine bubbles, architectural beauty, and a true sense of occasion.
Why Everyone Talks About Chandon
Famous for méthode traditionnelle wines, Domaine Chandon is where French Champagne savoir-faire meets Victorian cool climate fruit.
Their Chandon Brut is a modern classic.
The Chandon Rosé Dry, crisp, and impossible not to love. For those who want something extra-special, the prestige cuvée Étoile is layered, complex, and usually only available at the cellar door.
Shop the Cellar Door Exclusives
The cellar door isn’t just a stop, it’s a destination. Limited release sparkling cuvées, wine gifts, and bottles crafted exclusively for visitors are all available for purchase. It’s the perfect place to pick up something unique that won’t be found in regular bottle shops or even online. You can browse elegant packaging, glassware, and curated gift packs that make for memorable take-home treasures.
Dine at the Greenpoint Brasserie
Inside the Greenpoint Brasserie, guests can settle into a two or three course lunch paired with Chandon wines. The menu is regionally inspired, beautifully plated, and designed to complement the wines without overpowering them.
Whether it’s your first visit or your fiftieth, the food and wine together make this a go slow, stay awhile kind of place.
Is Chandon Just for Wine Snobs?
Not at all. Sure, it has pedigree, but the vibe here is welcoming, polished, never pretentious. Whether you’re new to sparkling or have a cellar full of Champagne at home, Chandon offers guided tastings that cater to all levels of interest.
It’s ideal for first-timers, romantics, girls’ weekends, and even those who just want a really good Instagram photo (the terrace views are next-level).
Why International Visitors Shouldn’t Miss It
If you’re visiting Melbourne, this is your fast-track to world-class winemaking without flying to France.
It’s just over an hour from the city, surrounded by one of the most scenic wine valleys in the country.
You’ll taste wines that rarely make it overseas, get a deeper insight into Australia’s take on sparkling, and dine in one of the region’s most polished restaurants all in one stop.
Beat the Crowds with a Guided Winery Tour
Because of its popularity, Chandon can feel busy, especially on weekends or holidays. That’s why we recommend visiting with Red Carpet Wine Tours.
Our wine tours are timed to beat the crowds and receive a little extra attention from cellar door staff turning a busy tasting room into a relaxed and elevated encounter.
FAQ: Domaine Chandon Australia
Who owns Domaine Chandon?
Chandon Australia is owned by Moët & Chandon, under the LVMH group, giving it the same Champagne DNA but with an Aussie edge.
Is Domaine Chandon the same as Moët & Chandon?
They’re part of the same family but operate separately. Moët is the original Champagne house; Chandon is its sparkling sister brand, made in six countries — Australia being one of the best-loved.
How much is a tasting at Chandon?
The standard guided tasting is $22 and includes five sparkling styles. It’s a walk-through of their winemaking process and house style, not just a quick sip.
When you join a Red Carpet Wine Tour, this price is covered in the tour cost.
Is Chandon Australia good for non-sparkling drinkers?
Their focus is sparkling, but they occasionally offer still Pinot Noir and Chardonnay. Still, if bubbles aren’t your thing, we’d recommend pairing this stop with another winery on your Red Carpet tour that suits your palate.
