Our Review
Mitchelton was founded by Ross Shelmerdine, named after the explorer Thomas Mitchell, who passed by here. Ross had a splendid vision for the striking winery, restaurant, now-iconic observation tower and surrounding vineyards. Owned by Gerry Ryan OAM (founder of Jayco) since '12, Mitchelton is a destination in its own right, with music concerts hosting such varied luminaries as Dame Kiri Te Kanawa and Jimmy Barnes; a hotel and spa also opened in '18. Mitchelton has estate vineyards in both Nagambie and Heathcote and purchases fruit from growers across Victoria. -JAMES HALLIDAY
