sustainable & quality produce from the Yarra Valley
The Yarra Valley has a wealth of amazingly passionate and dedicated local farmers, growers, makers and doers. We love supporting these local businesses which are family run, and have an ethos for sustainability and quality hand-made produce. Here are some of our favourites which are seasonally featured in our cottages and who we work with.
Six Acres Winery, Silvan
Six Acres boutique winery and vineyard is owned and worked by the Zuccaro Family in Silvan. All wine is unfiltered, vegan and made with love. The vineyard is biologically farmed, hand-tended and pesticide free. The wines are bright, textural, complex and showcase the quality and craftsmanship.
For your convenience, we provide a selection of wines which are available in the cottage. Enjoy a bottle and head to the winery to try some more and meet the winemaker.
