Location27-29 CUBITT STREET GREAT WESTERN, NORTHERN GRAMPIANS SHIRE LevelHeritage Inventory Site |
Statement of Significance
St Peter's vineyard was the first vineyard and winery in Great Western. It was established by Jean Pierre and Anne Marie Trouette in 1863. The only remaining obvious reminders of the vineyard orchard and homestead are the gateway and flanking English Elm trees marking the entrance to the property. The site is of historical significance to Great Western. It indicates the early settlement of land in the area for vineyard purposes. It is of importance for its potential to provide information that contributes toa greater understanding of the history of the settlement of the district, and has a strong presumption of archaeological research potential. Further higher research and archaeological investigation is recommended.
