It’s no secret. South Australia has some exceptional wineries making world-class wines. For many of us, our relationship with a wine begins only after its creation. But Raidis Estate has changed that with this ultra-exclusive winemaking experience.
If you haven’t heard of Raidis Estate before, you’ll find this beautiful winery in the heart of the Coonawarra wine region, 4 hours south of Adelaide. Husband-and-wife winemaking team Emma and Steven Raidis love nothing more than people coming together to enjoy good food and wine.
At their place, that’s done over a shared table, loaded with fresh produce, packed with family and friends, and – of course, glasses filled with delicious wine.
But it doesn’t stop there. Each year, the team open their vineyards to an exclusive handful of guests to experience the winemaking process, and have a hand in making a delicious Coonawarra Cabernet Sauvignon from scratch.
It’s aptly named ‘Living the Dream’.
This isn’t just another wine tasting event. It’s a once in a lifetime experience where you will be immersed in the entire winemaking process. Depending on the time of vintage, you will be handpicking grapes or pressing your own wine, then deciding on winemaking style. Throughout the year you will receive updates and samples of your wine as it develops.
In a nice personal touch, your signature will be etched on both the barrel head and the wine label of your own “Living the Dream” wine – the perfect souvenir.
Once the mornings wine making is done, after a long day of winemaking, you’ll be treated to a stunning Greek feast set amidst the Raidis family gardens. Every dish, crafted from fresh produce, will be paired perfectly with Raidis Estate wines.
