The Coonawarra Wine Region is gearing up for a busy month ahead, as the Coonawarra Cabernet Celebrations Wine Festival returns this October.
The festival is designed to showcase and celebrate Coonawarra’s signature variety, Cabernet Sauvignon, and boasts a program of over 60 events across five weeks, with no small number of Cabernets and other fantastic wines to be tasted as part of festivities.
The month-long festival, hosted by the Coonawarra Vignerons, kicks off on Saturday, October 1 with bespoke tastings and special events taking place at cellar doors and wineries across the region.
From high end wine dinners to vertical tastings, winery tours to masterclasses, exhibitions to workshops, the region will offer wine enthusiasts the opportunity to experience and discover the best of Coonawarra, and with October offering up five weekends, organisers have themed each one to appeal to a wide variety of tastes.
“Coonawarra’s wineries go to great lengths to make sure that there is a variety of offerings to suit a whole range of visitors. From lawn games to nature play, cooking classes, chocolate, cheese and wine tastings, as well as live music, there’s so much to choose from! The hardest part really will be deciding where to go first.” said Coonawarra Vignerons events and marketing officer, Heidi Guyett.
With spring in full flight, there’s no better time to soak up Coonawarra. Take the time to celebrate, educate + activate your senses from October 1-31, 2022. For more information and to view the program of events, visit www.coonawarra.org.
