Yarra Glen is a town in Victoria, Australia, 55 km north-east from Melbourne's central business district, located within the Shire of Yarra Ranges local government area.

[1] The Ryrie brothers (William, James and Donald) were the first Europeans to settle in the area, when they established the 17,000-hectare (43,000-acre) Yering run in 1837 after droving their cattle from NSW.

The brothers planted the first grape vines in the Yarra Valley in 1838 and produced their first wine in 1845.

[6] Its four story Italianate tower was added subsequent to the construction of the original hotel building.

[7] Yarra Valley Harness Racing Club conducts regular meetings at its racetrack in the town.
