Formerly a commercial farm, the estate was purchased by John and Louise Ward in 1983. Their long term vision was to establish a private holistic business for public good, where they would share the beauty of their land with others, nurture people’s wellbeing and help to reconnect people back to nature. Their plan was that profit from their business, would fund various charitable or community ventu
res including the disadvantaged community of PNG where John had worked for many years. Yarra Valley Estate is situated in the heart of Victoria’s wine growing country, the beautiful Yarra Valley, surrounded by the natural beauty of the Great Dividing Range and neighbouring vineyards. An hour’s drive North East of Melbourne and just 10 minutes by plane from Melbourne’s Tullamarine Airport, the property is perfectly designed for live music events and concerts. Yarra Valley Estate is a purpose-built venue, with unique features such as its own airstrip and light aircraft, on site accommodation, pool, tennis courts as well as an on-site wildlife rescue sanctuary, Babbajin Park. A host of profile concert performances are already confirmed for 2016 from both local and international artists, information on these exciting events will be announced soon
