Bus Tour – Meet the Wine Maker/Viticulturist at Balancing Heart

Bus Tour Experience: Balancing Heart Vineyard with Mike Hayes

Step into the heart of the Granite Belt with a bus tour to Balancing Heart Vineyard, where place and craft come together in every glass.

Hosted by award-winning winemaker Mike Hayes, this is more than just a tasting. It is an opportunity to hear directly from the maker and understand what shapes the wine in your glass.

Your visit begins among the vines, set against the region’s granite landscape, where Mike shares the story behind Balancing Heart. The vineyard takes its name from a heart-shaped granite formation on the property, reflecting the focus on balance between land, climate and winemaking.

You will hear about his hands-on approach in the vineyard and winery, his interest in alternative varieties suited to the Granite Belt, and why this region continues to build its reputation.

The experience finishes with a guided tasting led by Mike himself. From cool-climate whites to structured reds, each wine reflects the character of the site and the season.

Relax, connect and enjoy the Granite Belt through the eyes of one of Queensland’s most respected winemakers.

A true regional highlight to share together.
