Heathcote in the City 2026 by The Prosecco Queen

Heathcote in the City 2026 is a single-day wine tasting event organized by the Heathcote Winegrowers Association, known for the Heathcote Wine & Food Festival, bringing over 130 wines from prominent Heathcote wineries to the Abbotsford Convent. Attendees can taste wines, meet the winemakers from estates like Buckshot Vineyard, Sanguine Estate, and Vinea Marson, and purchase wines by the glass or bottle. Live music by Bendigo Blues & Roots performers Mariah McCarthy from 12:00 to 14:45 and Jared Healy from 14:45 to 17:30 adds to the experience on the Mercator Lawn. The event takes place on May 9, 2026, from 12:00 to 17:30 and is strictly 18+ due to liquor licensing, though dog-friendly with leashed pets. Tickets include a take-home Heathcote branded wine glass for general admission.
