Coonawarra Cabernet Celebrations is one of South Australia’s best regional wine-based events, with over 60 unique food and wine experiences designed to showcase and celebrate the Coonawarra wine region’s beautiful signature red wine: Cabernet Sauvignon.

Enjoy the spring-time celebrations across the month of October, with every week/weekend featuring themed events.
We’re confident there will be something to: tickle the fancy of families; delight wine connoisseurs; and, entertain those looking for an event combining live music and chilled tunes with regional produce and our sublime wines.

Try your hand at blending your own wine, enjoy a sparkling cabernet breakfast, take a winery tour, indulge in a chocolate and wine tasting, graze the day away and dine with winemakers at dinners to delight.

With a range of renowned regional wineries offering up events all month long, there is no shortage of activities to celebrate, activate and educate your senses.
