Watershed Gallery shows contemporary art on McDonalds Road at Pokolbin, in the middle of the cellar door run rather than off in a town. The work changes over regularly, and the space is set up for visitors to meet the artists as much as look at the pieces. There is nothing to book and no entry to pay.
It opens Friday to Sunday only, from 10.30am to 3pm, which puts it inside the same window as most tastings nearby. That makes it worth pairing with a cellar door on the same road rather than making a trip of its own. For anyone who wants a quiet twenty minutes away from the bar, it is an easy detour on a weekend.
