The Age Good Food Guide Awards 2009 – one Chef's Hat winner.

Matthew Macartney, Château Yering’s executive chef, comes to the Yarra Valley after a 9-year career at Daylesford’s award winning Lake House. "But it’s like coming home. Both my wife Karla’s and my family come from the Yarra Valley." And what is Macartney looking forward to most at Château Yering? "It is a truly beautiful hotel of genuine international quality and I want to reflect those standards in the quality of my food. Many Australians don’t understand the significance of Château Yering being a part of the French-based Relais & Châteaux group and I hope to give diners a world-class dining experience right here in Victoria."

After dinner, chauffeur-driven return to your accommodation.
