Ci vediamo alla vigna!
AUTUNNO @ VINEA MARSON
LA VENDEMMIA
The beginning of autumn sees the commencement of our harvest season. First, the grapes from the Alpine Valleys, followed by hand picking at our Heathcote home here at the foot of Mount Camel. The 2026 season will be short, thanks to the mid-November frost that took most of our crop. We're looking on the bright side though - a more gentle pace for la vendemmia and continuing to share the fruits of our labour with you - at the Cellar Door or a forthcoming event.
And finally in May our olive harvest sees the first pressings released - a terrific way to celebrate the end of the season and beginning of our winter dormancy.
WHAT OUR CUSTOMERS ARE SAYING
'Absolutely incredible hospitality, excellent explanation of the wines and really well-priced. Serving up some of the most unique and delicious wines we tried in Heathcote, this quiet cellar door was a standout. Sitting in the sun, a slow-paced tasting whilst patting the dogs was just delightful and we weren’t rushed to try at our own pace. It was so hard to choose which bottles to buy, everything was so impressive. We can’t wait to come back and try one of the cheese platters too.'
