About this space

Some places feed and inspire the soul; Bellwether Wines and the Glen Roy Shearing Shed are two of them, a beautiful mixture of history, humour, and creativity. Located in Coonawarra on the Limestone Coast, SA - Boandik country, the land of giant redgums and underground aquifers the 1868 Glen Roy Shearing Shed was designed by Architect William Thomas Gore and built by Chinese labourers en route to the goldfields.  Sheep were still shorn until 2009, sensitively renovated now it is home to Bellwether Wines boutique winery, community kitchen, cellar door, produce garden, performance venue and campground, most lambs here these days are of the roast kind accompanied with a good local red.  This beautiful stone building greets you as you drive into the famous Coonawarra wine region, 7km north of the township.
