The Place Like John Williamson's 'Home among the gum trees', Bellwether is set among the blonde, grassy plains of the Coonawarra wine region with the Limestone Coast's trademark ancient red gums (their sweeping branches said to protect the vines), with a sheep or two and a kangaroo. Central to the grounds is the shearing shed built by Chinese immigrants in 1868 en route to Victoria during the Gold Rush. It was a working shed until 2009 when it was converted into the boutique eco-winery you see today. With grapes selected from vineyards around Australia, owner Sue Bell creates exceptional wines on site, and with her friendly team manage a restaurant for guests and a rustic performance space. Its huge, socially-distanced grounds have glamping tents plus sites for regular campers.
