Showcasing region's best beverages and more at Heathcote On Show

It was all about local produce and all the wine, beer and beverages the area has to offer as crowds flocked to Heathcote On Show over the King's Birthday Weekend between June 10 and 12.

Artisan winemakers, chefs, brewers and musicians gave travellers and locals a taste - literally - of what Heathcote and surrounds had to offer.

Humis Vineyard owner and winemaker Missy Jones said in their fifth year at the event, she was pleased to see crowds out and about.

"With interest rates the way they are at the moment, we weren't sure if many would want to come," she said.

"But we had no shortage of customers, it was great."

Ms Jones said events such as these allowed vendors to showcase some of their more unique varieties.

"The more unusual kinds were most popular over the weekend," she said.

"Being able to speak to people face-to-face makes a big difference and you're able to explain and show off the produce right there and then.

"It's a great way to mix and mingle and enjoy everything the region has to offer."
