Hesket Estate: A Short History
First established in the 1980s, Hesket Estate is located in the charming village of Hesket, a small area in the Macedon Ranges situated 660 metres above sea level. The Hudspeth Stevenson family purchased the property in the 1990s. Since then further expansion and refinement has occurred. The old shearing shed has transformed into our cellar door and winery space renovated to produce estate made and grown wines. The cool climate conditions have proven to be an outstanding environment for the ongoing cultivation of our vines and ultimately wine.
Today, our range has grown to include distinctive small batch wines of Sparkling, Gewürztraminer, Riesling, Chardonnay, Pinot Noir and Heathcote Shiraz. Our commitment to a variety of wines aims to accommodate each individual’s palette. All our wines are available for purchase through our online store or if you prefer the up close and personal touch (or sip), visit us.
Our Estate and Vineyard
Hesket Estate is a winery centred upon an open and welcoming approach for all who wish to experience the wonders of wine making up close at our vineyard. We regularly run events and tours allowing visitors and wine lovers alike to witness our estate in action, from vines to the wine bottle, as they surround themselves in the picturesque scenery of the Macedon Ranges.
Visitors to the Estate can stroll along the vineyard, experience barrel tastings at our rustic cellar door and sample first class wines. Our tours offer a unique insight into the wine making process, taking you through the intricate and amazing details of our signature wines. Hesket Estate is the ideal location for visitors from overseas, interstate, Melbourne, Bendigo or locals of the Macedon Ranges.
