Statement of Significance

'Yeringberg' winery and stables stand in an area in the Yarra Valley first planted with vines in 1837. 'Yeringberg' was established by Baron Guillame de Pury in 1862 and developed to become a leading winery. The homestead has been destroyed but the timber winery, brick stables (both possibly c. 1885 - 90) and other buildings remain. The stables are single storied whilst the winery is two storied, with a loading structure on posts.
'Yeringberg' winery and stables is a complex of buildings important for their representation of the early and iternationally recognised wine growing industry in the Yarra Valley. 'Yeringberg' has strong associations with the European migrants who settled the area and brought their wineries to national prominence. Architecturally the buildings are distinctive and unusual, stylistically and technically. The form and detailing of the winery is particularly notable.
