 | Although Heathcote is regarded as equal to, if not the finest red wine region in Australia, the wines are perceived as exclusive; not only because of their high quality, but because some are only available at cellar doors. |
| Whilst the Heathcote Region earned its name as a producer of shiraz, it is also gaining a well-earned reputation as a premium producer of other wines, including viogner, verdelho and marsanne. |
| River Pearl is in Glen Rock PA, 35 minutes north of Towson MD. Codorus Creek flows through the property and it is bordered by the York County Heritage Railtrail. |

| The main outcrop of igneous Cambrian rock, the Heathcote Greenstone occurs in a strip running from the south end of Heathcote to the junction of the Mclvor and Northern Highway at the north end of the town. |
| So the Heathcote area can be considered as two slabs of rolling, folded, eroded sedimentary rocks separated by a strip of super complex minerals formed by volcanoes, igneous intrusion and metamorphosed sediments with all sorts of mineral lying around in the rubble. |
| To the west of the Heathcote fault the country is also sedimentary, and looks similar to the Costerfield country but the sandstones and mudstones are older, dating from the Ordovician period and known as the Lancefieldian series. |
