Coldstream Wine District

The Coldstream Wine District is located in the Yarra Valley Wine Region in the area surrounding the township of Coldstream, located about 50 km east of Melbourne. Coldstream is renowned as the early home of Dame Nellie Melba who was Australia's most famous opera singer. You can still see her home, Coombe Cottage at the juncture of the Melba and Maroondah highways. The Museum of Lilydale has various displays about Melba's life. Coldstream is surrounded by farms and vineyards. It is home to the famous Bloodstream Brewery. The Coldstream Airfield is home to a famous flying school, which is operated by the Royal Victorian Aero Club. Dring winter Coldstream is one of the coldest places around Melbourne, with the temperature dropping below zero degrees centigrade on several mornings each year and frosts are also an issue for the grape-growers.

The Yarra Valley Wine Region includes fifteen districts : Eltham ; Shepherds Bush ; Kangaroo Ground ; Wonga Park ; Dixon Creek ; Yarra Glen ; Coldstream ; Wandin ; Gruyere ; Seville ; Badger Creek ; Woori Yallock ; Warburton ; Healesville Watsons Creek
