Howard Vineyard transforms into a hub of festivity for Winter Reds this July

Embracing the winter spirit, Howard Vineyard will transform into a hub of festivity, boasting a vibrant atmosphere complete with crackling wood fires, inviting marquees, and captivating live performances.

Adelaide Hills is gearing up for the highly anticipated Winter Reds 2023, the premier winter food and wine festival of the region. Set to span across two exciting days, from Saturday, July 29th, to Sunday, July 30th, this event promises an unforgettable experience for wine enthusiasts and festival-goers alike.

Embracing the winter spirit, Howard Vineyard will transform into a hub of festivity, boasting a vibrant atmosphere complete with crackling wood fires, inviting marquees, and captivating live performances.

The main stage will feature an impressive lineup of bands and DJs, ensuring non-stop entertainment throughout the event. Adding to the ambiance, Clover + Stone Restaurant will offer a cozy haven where guests can enjoy delectable dishes paired with live acoustic music provided by Wasabi Entertainment.

During the festival, Shiraz may steal the spotlight, but Howard Vineyard guarantees a wide array of wines from their extensive collection, appealing to every taste. For those in search of a touch of excitement, the skilled team at Threefold Distilling will be concocting extraordinary cocktails, including the beloved Ginspresso and a delightful Shiraz sour cocktail.

In 2022, Threefold Distilling and Howard Vineyard joined forces to create a Blush Gin, which is featured in all the cocktails. Additionally, Threefold Distilling will generously offer complimentary tastings of their own gin selection.

To enhance your Winter Reds experience, Howard Vineyard offers different ticket options. The Shiraz Social Long Lunch, available on both Saturday and Sunday, invites attendees to settle by the warm fire in Clover + Stone Restaurant for a shared long lunch featuring exquisite South Australian produce perfectly complemented by Howard Vineyard wines.

This ticket includes event entry, a glass of Howard Vineyard wine or beer upon arrival, a shared long lunch menu with seven courses, and a Howard Vineyard Riedel Glass to take home.

For those looking for a VIP experience, The Shiraz Social VIP Terrace offers an exclusive undercover area with magnificent views, gas heating, and reserved seating. The ticket includes event entry, reserved seating for your group, a bottle of Howard Vineyard wine, food tokens for the outdoor kitchen featuring festival and street food, a Howard Vineyard Gin & mixer token, and a Howard Vineyard Riedel Glass

Those who prefer the comfort of a reserved marquee can opt for The Shiraz Social Reserved Marquee Tickets, offering the same benefits as the VIP Terrace but with reserved seating all day and food tokens for the outdoor kitchen. Limited tickets are available for this option.

For a more casual experience, The Shiraz Social General Admission allows guests to enjoy the festival ambiance, wood fires, and a range of wines, beers, and cocktails. Festival-goers can indulge in delicious casual festival and street food while relishing live music. Covered areas, chairs, and tables are provided on a first-come, first-served basis.
