Heathcote Wine and Food Festival 2010
Sat, 02/10/2010
Heathcote Wine & Food Festival 2010 - October 2 - 3 The 2009 Festival was judged by all to be a great success with approximately 3500 attendees. The Showgrounds were buzzing all weekend. Some 44 wineries exhibited, presenting over 150 wines. By all accounts the Cellar & Store heavily booked Tasting Seminars*(free) and the new Masterclass* series featuring Max Allen, Jane Faulkner, Kim Chalmers and Heathcote icon Ron Laughton were popular and highly regarded. On Sunday the Tasting Seminars continued and we enjoyed the new Cellar & Store Olive Oil Masterclass with Jenny Birrell. And, with 29 food and produce exhibitors no one went hungry. We've started planning for 2010 already, so put it in your diaries now - October 2 & 3, 2010.
