    This wonderful building not only hosts a diverse collection of artworks, but is in itself a work of art. Every window in the corridor frames a beautiful view of the valley . Highly recommended destination.

    Tarrawarra was the highlight of a week exploring the Yarra Valley. To be greeted by world class paintings was a surprise that was enhanced by the friendly and knowledgable staff. Topped off by a beautiful dining experience with high quality food, wine and service. Congratulations to all involved at Tarrawarra.

    A visit to TWMA always inspires. I appreciate the natural setting of landscape and vineyard, the significance of the art collection and the generosity of the creators of TWMA in providing an opportunity for the public to share this. The quiet beauty of the architecture frames the familiar landscape to be seen in a new way. The range of contemporary Australian artworks is accessible and interesting. I feel welcome at Tarrawarra and enjoy taking others there. The memory of this serene place is sustaining in a busy world.

    The building is an architectural masterpiece; the design of the beckoning courtyard frames glimpses of the beautiful Yarra Valley. Helpful and knowledgeable staff appear justifiably proud to be part of this wonderful institution. And the works, displays and instalations are real treasures of contempory Australian art. A most unexpectedly exciting experience.

    The gallery is world class. I did not expect to find such a great collection of art work hidden away in the Yarra Valley.
