Coriole, Paxton, Maxwell. If you know McLaren Vale, you know when these guys turn out an event, it’s unmissable.

McLaren Vale’s Spring Affair Festival returns for its third year this October Long Weekend (October 2 and 3, 2016) with Coriole Vineyards, Maxwell Wines and Paxton Wines all on show with some pretty incredible partnerships.

Ensuring it’s not just all about the wine (but it mostly is) Australia’s favourite celebrity cook Poh Ling Yeow will be at Coriole working alongside their in-house chef over the weekend while Maxwells will be working with Andre’s Cucina & Polenta Bar to create brilliant menus of freshly prepared regional produce. Of course, there will be live music as well, because what is leisure, food and wine without performance?
