Art Gallery
At Yering Station we believe that complementary to the partnership of food and wine is the realm of visual arts. The Cellar Door and Matts Bar upstairs are home to constantly rotating exhibitions. The historic walls of hand made bricks create a unique hanging space for a broad range of works. With a glass of wine in hand, there lies perfect opportunity to contemplate stimulating works of art. Yering Station and the Rathbone family have been long time supporters of LARCH, the Leukaemia Auxiliary of the Royal Children’s Hospital. A percentage of art sales are donated to the foundation.
