The Henty region is large, extending from the Hopkins River in the east to the South Australian border. Warrnambool on the coast is the region's largest city.
The stretch along the Henty Highway between Hamilton and Portland is the main vineyard area within the region. The soils are fertile, with a range of climatic conditions.
The first settlers to arrive were the Henty brothers. Upon arrival, the brothers brought vines as well as sheep to the area. The modern viticultural period began in the early 1960s, with other vineyards and wineries following throughout the 1980s and 1990s.
The region's superb coastline has long attracted visitors who are well catered for by restaurants and accommodation facilities. The region hosts a number of big events including the Wunta Food and Wine Festival at Warrnambool and the Port Fairy Folk Festival.
