"We produce some of the finest local produce and wines in the area..."
- Beechworth Resident
Beechworth's climate and ancient, weathered soils also offer perfect conditions for wine growers with some internationally renowned artisan vintages produced at vineyards in the area. Grapes have been grown here since the gold rush when the first vines were planted. Small-scale vineyards flourished throughout the region and by 1865 nearly 90 acres of gardens and small farms in the Beechworth district were under cultivation.
