Amherst Winery

285 Avoca Road, Amherst VIC 3371

A love of wine, some research, a good deal of naivety and a hell of a lot of hard work led to the establishment of Amherst Winery with two hectares of "Dunn's Paddock" Shiraz vineyard in 1989. This was followed by one and a half of Cabernet Sauvignon and 500 square metres of Chardonnay in 1998. Amherst Winery is located 20 kilometres south east of Avoca in Western Victoria's beautiful Pyrenees Wine Region. The land at Amherst, an old gold field, had been farmed by Norms' grandparents and great grandparents. When the opportunity arose to purchase some of this land in the 1970s he jumped at the chance of holding on to some of the family's rural heritage. The business is now owned and operated by the second generation of vigneron who carries on the tradition of high quality, small batch winemaking. Growing up the owners helped plant the vineyards that continue to be involved in almost every vintage since that time and took over the winemaking duties in 2008. Since the first commercial release of Shiraz in 1995, Amherst Winery has gained a reputation for elegant, cool climate, hand crafted wines achieving a five star winery rating in James Halliday's Australian Wine Companion. Amherst Winery has a range of wines such as Dunn's Paddock Shiraz, Chinese Gardens Cabernet Sauvignon, Rachel's Rose and Daisy Creek Sauvignon Blanc, Chardonnay and Shiraz Cabernet.

Maryborough

46237 - Maryborough VIC 3465
Located in the heart of Victoria's Goldfields region and central to Ballarat and Bendigo, Maryborough was immortalised by none other than Mark Twain who waxed lyrical about the impressive railway station. Mark Twain once described Maryborough as a "railway station with a town attached". The historic railway station, which has one of the southern hemisphere's longest platforms, is now home to an antique emporium, art gallery, wood-work gallery and café. A quarterly antique market is held under the platform's broad roof, attracting thousands who browse collectables, books and old wares. Many ornate gold rush-era facades sit alongside contemporary architecture and contain a myriad of hotels, craft shops, bakeries and cafés. The Central Goldfields Regional Art Gallery breathed life into the old fire station with its regularly changing contemporary exhibitions. Prior to European settlement the area was occupied by the Jajawurrong Aborigines. Head south out of Maryborough to the rock water wells along Wells Track, regarded as some of Victoria's best examples of Aboriginal rock water wells. Look out for the scarred trunks of 'canoe trees' in the area. A trip out of town for a walk in the Paddys Ranges State Park is invigorating, or you can go fossicking for gold or fishing for trout in one of the nearby reservoirs. The nearby Pyrenees wine region is conveniently accessible from Maryborough. Call into a cellar door or two to sample the regional wines. Set out on the Taste of Gold Trail and discover the fresh produce, specialty foods and fine wines that showcase the very best of the Goldfields region. Maryborough is 165 kilometres north-west of Melbourne or approximately two hours by car via Kyneton and Castlemaine on the Pyrenees Highway or via Ballarat on the Western Freeway....
