Padthaway Heritage Cottage
Padthaway was pioneered by Robert Lawson in 1847. He erected the first building in the Tatiara on his 127 square mile lease.
PADTHAWAY The thriving and picturesque village of Padthaway is situated on the Riddoch Highway, 60 kilometres South of Keith. The district population of just over 200 are mostly engaged in primary production and related pursuits, including vines and wineries, onions, cropping, mixed farming and seed production. Travelling along the Riddoch Highway, you will see rows and rows of vineyards rolling down through the Padthaway plains. They produce the quality grapes that are transformed into fine wines for worldwide distribution. In the centre of town, Apex Park is home to the Padthaway Marker, a huge block of green granite and exaggerated metal trellising which represents the district’s productivity. Apex Park also offers picnic facilities where you can enjoy your purchases from the nearby shops, or BBQs to use while the kids enjoy themselves in the playground or skatepark.
Padthaway House
Once you have had a bite to eat, you might consider visiting Padthaway Conservation Park for a spot of bushwalking or koala spotting, or unwind with a round of golf at the nine hole winter Golf Course. The majestic Padthaway Homestead was built in 1882. Its woolshed, built in 1901, is home to Padthaway Estate Winery where the famous “Eliza” is produced on Australia’s only traditional French Cochard Champagne Press. Travel just 4 kilometres south of the township to find the architect designed Farmer’s Leap Cellar Door. Here you will have an opportunity to sample fine wines and delicious food or just relax with a coffee.
Padthaway Golf Club
Today rows and rows of vineyards line either side of the highway producing a range of wines including the renowned Padthaway Shiraz.
