About Yering

Yering is a small historic locality nestled in the heart of the Yarra Valley, approximately 55 kilometres east of Melbourne in the Yarra Ranges local government area. With a population of just 138 at the 2021 census, it is one of Victoria's most intimate rural communities, set amid rolling hills, vineyards, and the scenic Yarra River corridor. The area holds considerable historical significance as the site of one of Victoria's first pastoral settlements, established by the Ryrie brothers in 1837. Its landscape of cool-climate vineyards and undulating farmland gives Yering a timeless, pastoral character unlike anything found closer to the city.

Yering is a destination in its own right, anchored by the renowned Yering Station winery, which draws visitors from across Australia and beyond for its cellar door, restaurant, and award-winning cool-climate wines. The locality attracts those who value space, privacy, and proximity to the natural beauty of the Yarra Ranges National Park. Residents tend to be acreage and hobby-farm owners, vignerons, and lifestyle seekers drawn to the region's equestrian culture. While lacking its own shops, Yering is within easy reach of Healesville and Yarra Glen for everyday services, making it a supremely liveable rural retreat.

Yering falls under postcode 3770 and is governed by the Yarra Ranges Council (Local Government Area). For federal elections, residents vote in the electorate of Casey, while state elections fall under the Evelyn (Eastern Victoria) electorate.
