The Heathcote Wine & Food Festival returned in full swing on October 5 and 6, 2024, continuing its long-standing tradition as one of Australia’s most celebrated wine festivals. Held at the scenic Heathcote Showgrounds, this annual event has been a staple of the wine calendar for over 16 years, drawing more than 4000 visitors eager to sample the region’s acclaimed wines. From seasoned wine enthusiasts to curious newcomers, the festival offered an unforgettable weekend away in Regional Victoria.
Wineries from the Heathcote region showcased their latest releases, including wines that gained recognition at the Interpack Heathcote Wine Show. This gave festival-goers an exclusive chance to try wines that had already made waves in both national and international circles.
Beyond the wine, the family-friendly atmosphere made the festival truly special. The showgrounds were transformed into a lively village, offering live music curated by Bendigo Blues & Roots and lawn games by Games on the Green. Families enjoyed entertainment by local performer Mr Mike, ensuring there was something for everyone.
