Established in 1909 as the private home of opera legend Dame Nellie Melba, this historic Coldstream estate pairs seven acres of heritage gardens with graceful, storied celebrations.
Coombe Yarra Valley is a historic estate in Coldstream, established in 1909 as the private home of Australia's beloved opera star, Dame Nellie Melba. Set among seven acres of gardens originally designed by William Guilfoyle, it stands as one of the region's most cherished Yarra Valley wedding venues, wrapping every celebration in a century of story.
Couples can exchange vows outdoors beneath the sprawling canopy of the estate's Majestic Oak, or within the sculpted hedges and pencil pines of the Italian Garden. Receptions move into the Main Dining Room, where floor-to-ceiling windows frame the gardens, and a dedicated dance floor sits ready for up to 150 guests.
Beyond the day itself, Coombe brings a genuine sense of place: a restaurant serving seasonal menus, a cellar door pouring estate-grown wines and Melba gin, and manicured grounds dotted with century-old oaks for portraits. Melba's historic home and art collection add a rare, cultured backdrop to the celebration.
