Heathcote wine region
Heathcote's ancient Cambrian soils have earned it a reputation as one of the finest shiraz-producing areas in the world. Discover it for yourself.
Regional varieties
Red soil and warm summers tempered by cool, southerly winds help produce robust wines of power and weight with great texture. Shiraz is Heathcote's flagship varietal, but it also produces superb cabernet sauvignon, and has had success with viognier and riesling.
On the estates
Taste the wines and meet the winemakers at cellar doors all year round. Visit in October when the local winemakers gather to showcase their iconic wines at the Heathcote Wine and Food Festival.
Experience estate-grown and hand-picked wine, dining, Mediterranean gardens and luxurious accommodation.
