Heathcote
Situated at the end of 1.5km of dirt road in good condition, look for the big modern shed and the cellar door is at the rear of that. We understand there is usually a sign at the entrance to the cellar door, however, we could not see it on the day of our visit

There is ample gravel parking
The cellar door is situated in a room at the back of the winery. The building is elevated, which gives some very pretty views over the vineyards and surrounding hills. There is also a nice deck at the front of the building with some seating and umbrellas that look over the vineyards
Boutique
The tasting room is not overly large, however is modern and bright and has a window that allows you to look down into the winery. There are also great views to the vineyards to enjoy while you are tasting
