Since 1996 owner & vigneron Peter Dredge has been making powerful yet elegant wines from one of the oldest vineyards in arguably the most famed Shiraz area in Australia - Heathcote.
With the ambition to produce full flavoured red wines, Greg and Helen Miles began their search for a vineyard site. In 1997 they established a 4 hectare vineyard at Metcalfe, in the Heathcote wine region, south of Redesdale.
Heathcote Winery’s Cellar Door is located in the main street of Heathcote. The Cellar Door and adjacent Art Gallery are housed in a restored miners produce store built by Thomas Craven in 1854 to cater for the influx of gold miners seeking fortune.
Family owned Vineyard, Winery & Cellar Door - all wines are handcrafted, hand picked, open fermenters, basket pressed and maturation in French Oak to complete the process.
Phil Meehan and his wife Jude opened their cellar door at the Meehan Vineyard in 2011. It is on the McIvor Highway, just past the intersection with the Northern Highway.
Mount Camel Ridge Estate is situated on the eastern face at the cooler, south end of the Mount Camel Range, 17km north of Heathcote in Central Victoria.
