2026 Update – The Hub continues to evolve!  Although more scaled down in its current iteration, you’ll still find 10 or so wines on tasting most days that really capture the region.  Further, the wines for sale are more curated than ever – which means you still have plenty of choice but are almost always assured a winner.  The venue now also offers a lovely accomodation.  You really need to check it all out 🙂

2024 Update: Under it’s lovely new owners Toby and Kate, the Wine Hub has moved into an awesome old wooden church setting in Heathcote.  Service is better than ever, and if you want to tour Heathcote in one stop, this remains the place to go!

*****

Heathcote Wine Hub is not a winery per se.  Rather, it is a mini cellar door of cellar doors (and sometimes cafe) in the middle of Heathcote.  The place has 15 or so wines from some of the region’s best wineries on tasting at any time.  Don’t be shy.  If you are short on time and really want to start to understand the region, try them all.  Usually there is a nice array on tasting with some of Heathcote’s more experimental varietals (Heathcote, probably more than any other region in Victoria, seems always to be experimenting with varietals) as well as a range of Shirazes.  In addition to what’s on tasting, they stock any number of wines from many of the region’s preeminent producers.  This would be a good chance to try or buy wines from exceptional houses such as Ellis, Hennings, and Wild Duck Creek that do not have regularly open cellar doors.  If you run through the full tasting here, you will understand why we believe Heathcote is a contender for the greatest wine region of Australia.
