Heathcote VIC 3523
'Not many country towns have a winery in the main street, but in Heathcote this friendly place has long been a part of the scenery. The old Thomas Craven Stores, circa 1854, is the centrepiece, a little piece of Victoriana in a historic streetscape with a comfy café and art gallery. The mature vineyards provide Shiraz that's a true regional highpoint, these are first class wines made in a more elegant, perhaps European style, often with a little dusting of Viognier in the mix. While red wine from Shiraz is the main game, don't miss the reasonably priced MCV, a tasty blend of Marsanne, Chardonnay and Viognier.' RALPH KYTE-POWELL
Cravens Cafe is the perfect place to unwind over lunch (Friday to Sunday) or enjoy an espresso coffee. Why not spend the day in the sunny courtyard or by the fire?
