Location

Great Western is a quaint and charming township located on the Western Highway between Melbourne and Adelaide and part of the Grampians and Great Grape Road touring routes. First settled in the 1840s by sheep graziers, Great Western rapidly developed through the discovery of gold and then the planting of grape vines and today remains the focal point of one of Australia’s internationally renowned wine growing regions and one of the State’s most attractive wine villages.
