Heidi Guyett, events and marketing manager of Coonawarra Vignerons, says there will be plenty of opportunities for wine aficionados, foodies and families alike to explore and experience Coonawarra.
“This year’s program is as extensive as ever, with over 70 food and wine experiences to be enjoyed,” she says.
“Our member wineries have gone to great lengths to offer an exciting array of events. From family fun days to high end wine dinners, vertical tastings to blending workshops, winery tours, masterclasses, and long lunches, the region will offer visitors, and locals alike, the opportunity to experience and discover the best of Coonawarra.
“Aside from tasting the exquisite wines of the region, festival goers will have the opportunity to dine and meet with winemakers and boutique winery owners, go behind the scenes in the winery and even sample wines that are yet to be officially released, all the while learning about the process and the passion that goes into Coonawarra’s famed wines.”
The first weekend will see the Coonawarra Cabernet Celebrations Golf Day and Family Fiesta theme kick off the month-long festival.
The celebrations will ramp up over the weekend with Pizza and Tunes at Raidis Estate on Saturday and and the return of Rymill Coonawarra’s Cabernet Carnival on Sunday.
The following weeks will see events with themes around blending wine, and the marriage of cabernet sauvignon with other varieties - a weekend tribute to the original festival, which historically took place on one single weekend, along with an exclusive look at new-release wines.
The International Cabernet Masterclass also returns as a feature event in the October program and will present a premium selection of Coonawarra wines alongside international Cabernets from regions including Bordeaux, the Napa Valley and Tuscany.
