Taking place on July 27 and 28, Cellar Doors throughout the region will give guests the chance to soak up the warmth by open fires and outdoor braziers in the seasonally beautiful surroundings, with a selection of Adelaide Hills Wine region locals showing off their culinary talent as the ‘Real Foodies of the Adelaide Hills’ by matching the region’s world renowned cool climate wines with hearty Fireside Fare.
“Winter in the Adelaide Hills is a wonderful time of the year to embrace our cool climate red wines and quality local produce and this year, the annual Winter Reds festival will be celebrating the Real Foodies of the Adelaide Hills as we indulge in some stunning winter warming dishes at cellar doors throughout the region,” says Adelaide Wine Region President, John Harvey.

“The Adelaide Hills is certainly one of the state’s best kept winter secrets and always inspires delicious, hearty fare, which we are delighted to offer visitors during the upcoming Winter Reds Festival. I’m looking forward to sharing a personal recipe that has been a family favourite for years and will warm you from the inside out whilst matching perfectly with our red wines,” said Inga.
