Pettavel Estate Yarra Valley

Welcome to Pettavel Estate Yarra Valley, a historical winery located at 1165 Melba Highway in Yarra Glen, Australia. Established in 1842 by Swiss winemaker David Pettavel, this institution played a pivotal role in shaping the Australian wine industry. Today, Pettavel Wines stands as a 5-star winery, renowned for its exceptional wines and magnificent winery.

The passion and love for wine that David Pettavel possessed has been passed down through generations. Under the leadership of Mr. David Louise Pettavel, a group of vignerons from Switzerland established one of Australia's earliest wine regions in Geelong and later expanded to the Yarra Valley. Together, these men achieved unprecedented glory in the world of winemaking.

Pettavel's development history and entrepreneurial spirit have been recognized as one of the three pioneers in the Australian wine industry. His remarkable achievements have been recorded in the annals of history, including The Australian People, and his award-winning papers are preserved in major libraries worldwide.

Pettavel's winemaking adventure began in Geelong in 1842, and from there, he returned to Switzerland to convince family and friends to expand vineyards and wine production to other areas. This led to the establishment of the largest wine region in Australia. Today, Pettavel Vineyards, nestled within the Cool Climate Wine Regions, produces premium wines for both domestic and international markets. With the perfect combination of warm days and cool nights, nature has blessed this region, allowing for the production of outstanding wines.

Pettavel Estate Yarra Valley stands as a landmark winery, keeping the winemaking legend alive. Whether you are a wine enthusiast, a food lover, or simply seeking a unique and memorable experience, we invite you to visit our estate and indulge in the rich history and exquisite wines that Pettavel has to offer.
