As the warmth of summer graces South Australia, it’s time to enjoy SA’s best outdoor events, and among the highlights is Syn at Sunset.
This cherished post-Christmas gathering, hosted by Richard Hamilton Wines, is a family-friendly soirée featuring live music, delectable food, fine wine, and the stunning backdrop of McLaren Vale’s vineyards.
What sets this event apart is its unwavering commitment to supporting a noble cause – the Williams Syndrome Association of SA Inc.
Scheduled for Friday, December 29th, Syn at Sunset provides the perfect opportunity for families to unwind amidst the festive season, particularly between Christmas and New Year’s Eve. The venue welcomes guests to bring along picnic rugs or chairs and settle on the vineyard’s expansive lawns, where the main stage will serenade them with tunes.
The gates will open at 4 pm, kicking off the evening with the sounds of local legends, Full Circle, taking the stage at 5 pm and playing their repertoire of beloved hits until 9 pm.
The 5 piece Full Circle local cover band are a hit every time they perform live. They’ve been performing together for two decades, putting together a tight brand of commercial rock, covering songs from the 60’s to current fresh hits.
While the music fills the air, guests can indulge in food provided by A Moveable Feast, known for its wood-fired pizzas, and Liquid Delights, offering aromatic coffee and sweet treats. There will also be a delicious range of drinks including the Syn Sparkling range.
Syn Sparkling Wines are named after the word ‘Syn’ which comes from ‘synergy’, with parcels of fruit selected from Richard Hamilton’s vineyards in both McLaren Vale and Coonawarra.
The event will have all three Syns available on the night to sip the night away – Cuvée Blanc Chardonnay Pinot Noir, Rouge Sparkling Shiraz and Sparkling Rosé, making the event a little more special.
However, Syn at Sunset isn’t just about celebration; it’s about making a difference. The event encourages a gold coin donation for parking and directs proceeds from the BBQ sales towards supporting families associated with Williams Syndrome SA.
Williams Syndrome is a genetic condition characterised by the partial deletion of Chromosome 7, often impacting the heart and leading to conditions that may require surgery, learning disabilities, and other ongoing medical concerns.
Syn at Sunset has firmly etched itself into the South Australian calendar, and this year marks its 15th edition.
Located just a 45-minute drive from the CBD, the Richard Hamilton Wines cellar door in McLaren Vale is not only known for its stunning vineyard but also as the home of the sixth-generation family of winemakers.
For newcomers, prepare for Syn at Sunset to be an unforgettable evening of music, wine, and community spirit as Syn at Sunset continues to shine as a beacon of tradition and goodwill in McLaren Vale.
