Heathcote Winery

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!!

The winery produced its first vintage in 1981 and now specialises in the production of Shiraz and Viognier reflective of the Heathcote Region but distinctly Heathcote Winery. Shiraz is the cornerstone of Heathcote Winery's premium wine production, including the highly acclaimed Mail Coach Shiraz and flagship Curagee Shiraz.

Visitors to cellar door enjoy free wine tastingand a range of locally produced gourmet grocery items, or you may simply…..relax and unwind with a glass of wine in our courtyard.

Coffee & tea served Saturdays and Sundays from 11.30am.
