YAVA at STEELS GATE
curated spaces
Wine + Art!
YAVA’s goal is to inspire, educate and bring people together. World-class art, artists, patrons and collectors coalesce in our space, which is inherently tied to the Yarra Valley region. We’re passionate about linking food, wine & the arts as fabulous reasons to visit the Yarra Valley.
a little about Steels Gate
Steels Gate Wines Co-Directors and Owners Matthew Davis and Brad Atkins grow their own fruit and make the wine themselves.
They use environmentally sustainable methods across all facets from vine to final wine production. The vineyards are dry-grown with a “minimal intervention” approach which includes majority organic fungicide spraying and no use of herbicides or pesticides.

YAVA is thrilled to be able to move beyond the gallery walls and curate spaces in our partners’ venues. The third of our winery venues is Steels Gate. Throughout Autumn we welcome you to enjoy the works of Jerry Osadczuk. Jerry’s large textural abstracts and landscapes transport you to another world.
You can see the artworks ‘live’ hanging at Steels Gate.

Steels Gate Vineyard
When Matthew and Brad purchased the property in 2009, the vineyard was overrun by blackberries and the vines needed some extra love and care. Since then, they have been revived to their former glory.
The blocks are surrounded by King Lake National Park and their Chardonnay and Pinot Noir vines are completely un-irrigated and hand nurtured.
