Your Own Personal Friendly Wine Expert Guide with Great Local Knowledge

Victoria’s world-famous Yarra Valley wine region is located a short 45-minute drive from Melbourne’s CBD district. It is home to many old-world and some burgeoning new world wine varietals and is known the world over for its misty, crisp and classic white wines.

4worldlovers: After 25 years of making wine for some of Australia’s most iconic wineries, Yarra Valley legend – Rob Dolan, made the decision to channel his passion and skill into his own label. And so, Rob Dolan Wines was born.

Rob’s decades of friendships with the top growers of our region gives us access to the premier vineyards of the Yarra Valley. Rob believes the best fruit – with a ‘less is more’ approach in the winery – is key to creating wines with elegance, structure, and stunning depth of flavour. Wines that make you stop and savour. Wines with true character.

We are wine-makers, wine-incubators and wine-collaborators. We are not limited to any one patch of dirt. Instead our strong and enduring relationships with regional growers allow us to select the best possible parcels of fruit. And then we do justice to the fruit by creating the most complete, mouth-filling, delicious wines possible.

Our home in the Yarra Valley is both where our wine is created and one of the best places to enjoy it. Just a short 30-minute drive from the buzzing energy of Melbourne CBD, our winery and cellar door in South Warrandyte is a perfect introduction to the sweeping beauty of the region.

We’ve got a pretty great bunch of people here at Rob Dolan Wines. A collection of different characters from different backgrounds but with one unified passion—our love of making and sharing great wine.
