Coonawarra Cabernet Celebrations Long Weekend Guide

Back to Cabernet Celebrations HOME PAGE
Cruise on in to Coonawarra for a fun-filled week with your family and friends, and make the most of the SA Long weekend!

Celebrate, educate and activate your senses with an array of bespoke tastings, food and wine experiences and events featuring Coonawarra’s champion variety- Cabernet Sauvignon.

There’s activities to delight and amuse all ages. Hit the Coonawarra Wineries Walking Trail, enjoy a magical outdoor movie screening under the stars, or take to the greens for a round of golf while enjoying a wine or two with the who’s who of Coonawarra at the picturesque Penola Golf course.

Bring the whole family along to relax and enjoy pizza and tunes at both Raidis Estate and Zema Estate. Live it up with long weekend vibes served up all weekend at Brand’s Laira, with sweet treats and produce plates at various wineries in the region. Our cellar doors are well equipped with oodles of indoor and outdoor toys to make sure the kids have as much fun as the adults.

From cheese to chocolate, arancini and pies, light bites to long lazy lunches, intimate dinners and family fiestas you won’t be left hungry this weekend.

And let’s not forget the star of the show –  Cabernet!  You’ll have the opportunity to discover why Coonawarra is regarded as one of the most premium Cabernet producing regions in the world. Taste, compare, savour and celebrate Coonawarra’s signature variety at cellar doors across the region.
