To celebrate 130 years of Coonawarra, Raidis Estate is inviting guests to step back in time for an unforgettable night of mystery, wine, and vintage glamour.
On Saturday 18th October, the family-owned winery will host Murder in the Vines – A 1920s Coonawarra Mystery, a one-of-a-kind immersive dinner event.
From 6:30 pm – 10:30 pm, guests will sip Raidis Estate wines and enjoy a delicious dinner as they work to unravel an intricate murder mystery set against the backdrop of Coonawarra’s past.
The storyline, steeped in intrigue and drama, is set in 1929 and poetically pays tribute to some of the region’s most significant historical figures – including Mary MacKillop, Father Julian Tenison Woods, and John Riddoch – whose vision and legacy shaped the Coonawarra we know today.
The evening promises a mix of entertainment and nostalgia, blending theatrical fun with the history of one of Australia’s most iconic wine regions. Guests are encouraged to dress in their finest 1920s and 1930s attire – think flapper dresses, pearls, fedoras, and suspenders.
“At Raidis Estate, we love bringing people together with great wine, good food, and plenty of fun,” said co-owner Emma Raidis.
“Coonawarra’s 130th anniversary is such a milestone, and we wanted to honour it in a way that was both memorable and a little different. This Murder Mystery lets us weave in the stories of those who made this region what it is, while giving everyone a night they won’t forget. The idea and writing for the mystery itself came from our amazing events manager, Hannah Timms, whose creativity has brought the whole story to life.”
