Uniquely positioned in the main street of Heathcote, Heathcote Winery holds a surprise for many of its visitors. The Cellar Door and adjacent Art Gallery are situated in the main street of Heathcote, in a restored miners produce store built by Thomas Craven in 1854 to cater for the huge influx of gold miners seeking their fortune.

Few would then expect to find a fully functioning winery directly behind the Cellar Door!!

Heathcote Winery produced its first vintage in 1983 and now specialises in the production of premium shiraz with the release of the 2006 vintage of the acclaimed Mail Coach shiraz marking the Winery's 11th vintage.

Visitors to cellar door enjoy free wine tasting and a range of locally produced foods, or may simply stroll through our Art Gallery featuring exhibitions by regional artists. Our courtyard is a great place to unwind with a glass of wine or your favourite coffee. On weekends, Cravens Café serves lunch and light meals.

Functions can be catered for in both the Art Gallery and courtyard.

Sauvignon Blanc arrives at
Heathcote Winery

Australia is inundated with New Zealand savvy blanc. There is a good reason for that. First, the Kiwis do it very well and thanks to our policy of closer economic ties, get some pretty good tax benefits to go with it. Secondly, they have branded their product brilliantly. For example, everybody associates Marlborough with Sauvignon Blanc.
