Finding Highbank
Highbank winery is located centrally in the famous terra rossa soil strip, lying approximately 6kms from the village of Coonawarra and 3kms from the quaint township of Penola.
Approximately 380kms south east of Adelaide, the capital of South Australia, the winery is almost midway between Adelaide and Melbourne, Victoria.
Coonawarra and Penola are located within the region known as the Limestone Coast, which is a rich and prosperous area, stretching from the Glenelg River on the Victorian border, up to Tailem Bend and back to Bordertown.
Within the Limestone Coast are many grand tourist attractions and no matter where you are, you are never more than 120kms from the ocean.
