Time to shine for Heathcote wine

 

Wine lovers will be heading to Heathcote - just a short drive from Melbourne - for the Summer of Cellar Doors festival, which will run over the weekend of November 26-27 (with some extra events on December 3-4).

Wineries across the region will showcase both old and new releases as well as hosting guest producers, doing pop ups and hosting live music.

The festivities will run from 10am-4pm and advance bookings are recommended for some of the most popular events.

Among the highlights: McIvor Farm will be hosting Syrahmi Wines, Garden of Earthly Delights, Kennedy Vintners and Humis Vineyard along with serving with their porky small goods, Christmas hams and barbecued sausages.

Regional star Jasper Hill will be offering museum tastings alongside new releases, while Tellurian will be diving into their cellar and opening up some special old bottles.

Red Edge Wines will be hosting twilight tunes and a pizza party, while Mia Valley Estate will be unveiling some new releases and Shiraz Republic will be launching their premium shiraz: Old Beddy.
