Heathcote Wine and Food Festival

Overview

Every October, the heart of Heathcote comes alive with flavour, music and community spirit at the annual Heathcote Wine and Food Festival. Held at the Heathcote Showgrounds, this two-day celebration brings together local wineries showcasing their finest drops. Many of these are new releases you’ll taste before anyone else.

Famous for its bold Shiraz and unique varietals grown in ancient Cambrian soil, Heathcote is one of Victoria’s most celebrated wine regions. Beyond the wine, the festival features regional food, live music, a relaxed family friendly vibe, lawn games and a welcoming village atmosphere.

Whether you are a seasoned wine lover or simply looking for a fun day out, this event is a must. Tickets are now on sale with options for weekend passes, premium experiences and return bus transport from Melbourne and Bendigo.

Sip, savour, meet the makers and experience Heathcote at its best. Tickets on sale July 1, 2026.
