When to make a wine date in the Adelaide Hills

The Adelaide Hills is one the most beautiful wine regions in Australia, and also one of the busiest, with a regular number of events held throughout the year.

Here's list of what is coming up:

CHARDONNAY MAY – May 1-31
The month of May sees a focus on the cool-climate chardonnay wines crafted in the Adelaide Hills. Throughout the month, cellar doors across the Adelaide Hills will hold a series of special tastings, themed dining experiences, special aged wines from the cellar and new releases. More details on individual winery offerings will be available from early April here: Chardonnay May

WINTER REDS – July 25-27
This long-standing winter weekend festival celebrates the many different red wines produced in Adelaide Hills - shiraz, pinot noir, tempranillo and more - with a vibrant party atmosphere at multiple venues involving open fires, live music, hearty meals, and good company. Details on individual winery events will be available from early June here: Winter Reds

SPRING FESTIVAL – November 14-16
Late spring is delightful in the Adelaide Hills with the vines beginning to turn green. This year the spring event will feature not just the fine traditional method sparkling wines made in the Adelaide Hills, but also a selection of whites, rose and reds wines, too.
