It is located in the Glenrowan wine region within 50 km of some of the wineries of North East Victoria, as well as being close to other local attractions including Glenrowan, the site of the famous Bushranger Ned Kelly's last stand. It is home to the Winton Motor Raceway.

It was named by district surveyor J.G.W. Wilmot, apparently after Winton, Cumbria, where he was said to have been born.
