2010 Heathcote Wine and Food Festival Sat & Sun October 2 & 3
11am to 6pm both days.
The Festival is a showcase of wines produced from grapes grown only in the Heathcote wine region. It celebrates all the grape growers and winemakers who have helped to make Heathcote a name associated with some of Australia's finest wines, in particular Shiraz for which Heathcote is internationally renowned. However, Shiraz is not the only variety to perform in the region; increasingly we are seeing other varieities coming to the fore - Sangiovese, Marsanne, Viognier, Tempranillo, Petit Verdot, Grenache and Cabernet Sauvignon. On cooler sites Riesling and Chardonnay can perform exceptionally well too.
The Festival is the ideal opportunity to taste these wines; this year the Festival will have over 50 wineries presenting around 200 wines available for tasting and purchase throughout the weekend.
All this tasting is supported by a range of serious and not so serious food and produce. Combine this with Free Tasting Seminars, Laid-back live music all weekend including The Davidson Brothers and ABC774's Derek Guille and his 'Ugly Uncles' band. The kids are looked after too with interactive entertainment from 'Fusion'. All this adds up to a great day (or weekend) out.
The Heathcote Wine and Food Festival truly is a party for your palate.
