Tokar Estate Yarra Valley Wineries and Restaurant

When the Yarra Valley wineries are finished aging their wine and once it’s been bottled, we have oak barrel’s left over.

Some of which cannot be used again, so we find different uses for them in or around the wineries.

A number of great uses are to use them as a planter box.

A small bar by your BBQ, makes for a great conversation piece.

At Tokar Estate Yarra Valley winery in Coldstream, we have a few half and full barrel’s ready for sale.

Half barrel at $30.00 and a full barrel at $60.00

Local pick up at Winery only.

So why not come down and grab a half or full one and let your imagination run wild as to what you can use it for.

Even email us and let us know what you have done with it, with a photo and we’ll put it on our website.

Grab a barrel that your wine has actually come from, then it will make your BBQ stories that little more interesting.

So why not come down and have a Wine Tasting, grab a barrel or two and have lunch on the deck looking out over the picturesque Yarra Valley.

We hope to see you all soon.

Warm Regards

A Vineyard Is Born

When Leon and Rita Tokar purchased the property of Tokar Estate in June 1995, the land was covered in thistles, tussock grass and snakes. The plan was initially to produce grapes for their own consumption only – “to play at making wine ourselves, for ourselves” says Leon.

However, the fabulous positioning of the site coupled with the extremely fertile soils made it an ideal location to undertake a modest planting of Pinot Noir. With that, Leon Tokar’s vision was born and in 1996 the Vineyard itself was established, with 30 acres under vines and producing premium fruit by 1998.

Originally Leon and Rita purchased the property as a weekend getaway retreat. In November 1999, building of their home was complete and the Tokar family took up permanent residence in the Yarra Valley. Always the hospitable couple, with a strong passion for nurturing others,
Leon and Rita Tokar soon started entertaining friends and family members by opening up their cherished new home to all those wanting to get away from the ‘hustle and bustle’ of City living for a day or two.

Using their new home as a cellar door, good wine flowed as Rita prepared and served a delicious assortment of light lunches on the lush rolling lawns of the admired new estate. These occasions were not only extremely popular amongst their family friends, yet also, so personally rewarding for both Leon and Rita that it was not too long before the concept of making wines and meals on a larger scale was born. Resulting in the ‘creation’ of what is now proudly called Tokar Estate – a fabulous setting in the heart of the iconic Yarra Valley region.
