Yering is a town in Victoria, Australia, 38 km north-east from Melbourne's central business district, located within the Shire of Yarra Ranges local government area.
In 1837, brothers William, Donald and James Ryrie, accompanied by four convict stockmen, set out from the Monaro region of New South Wales driving 250 head of stock, settling in the Yarra Valley at Yering, which was the Indigenous name for the local area.
The 1890s depression saw table wines decline in popularity and the land, for cattle-grazing and dairying purposes, become more valuable than the vines.
The area became the centre of a modern revival of Yarra Valley winemaking in the 1960s, with the original wineries coming back into production and many others established.
The original 1854 mansion on Melba Highway built by Paul de Castella in 1854 from local hand-made bricks and marble and cedar brought overland from New South Wales, is open today with some alterations as the Chateau Yering Historic House/Hotel.
