Join the McLaren Vale Wine Region this coming January for the launch of SummerVines – a new festival celebrating Australia’s premier coastal wine region.
Visit McLaren Vale’s unique coastal locale to experience how it shapes the region’s light, bright contemporary wines, vibrant foodie culture, abundant natural produce, regional artisans and welcoming culture.
The inaugural ten-day celebration of the region’s unique coastal location will focus on the profound impact it has on everything – from the light, bright wines crafted by the hands of our talented and innovative artisans, to our abundant natural produce and laid-back beachy lifestyle.
Proudly sponsored by the South Australian Tourism Commission, SummerVines will launch on 20 January 2023, running in conjunction with the Men’s Stage 4 of the Santos Tour Down Under (21 January) through to 29 January.
The inaugural festival promises to showcase a multitude of intimate and experiential wine, food and tourism events as wineries, cellar doors and restaurants around the McLaren Vale wine region host a diverse range of experiences for visitors and consumers.
Visitors are invited to immerse themselves in our coastal environment and enjoy our wines the way the makers do – in the sun, with good food, and in good company. McLaren Vale is one of Australia’s oldest and most celebrated wine regions, with a long history of excellence in the production of Shiraz, Cabernet Sauvignon and Grenache.
Our warm, dry summers, mild winters and idyllic coastal location create a utopia for winemakers and grape growers, attracting some of the most creative minds in winemaking.
Their innovative approaches are evident in the constant evolution of the region’s wine styles and diversity, bringing out the best in not only our traditional varieties but also in the large range of lighter Mediterranean grape varieties that thrive here.
SummerVines is a celebration of this innovation and diversity, shaped by our enviable beachside lifestyle and magnified through perfect matching with our vibrant foodie culture.
Explore our exciting and diverse program highlighting the region’s multitude of incredible wines, dining experiences and fresh local produce and join us to experience how McLaren Vale is leading the new face of Australian wine regions – fresh, innovative, welcoming, and sustainable.
SummerVines will run from January 20th – 29th 2023.
Tickets for SummerVines events are available for purchase from the website or directly from participating venues.
