Heathcote Winery (Heathcote)

Heathcote VIC 3523
Australia
Uniquely positioned in the main street of Heathcote (in Victoria's Goldfields, in Melbourne Surrounds), 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 1983 and now specialises in the release of the 2005 vintage of the Mail Coach shiraz heralding the winery's 10th vintage. Shiraz is the cornerstone of Heathcote Winery's premium wine production, and only late last year the 2003 Mail Coach Shiraz' was awarded Top Gold Medal in its class at the Royal Adelaide Wine Show against 240 other wines.
