Winter Reds | 28 – 30 July

One of the most beautiful ways to enjoy the Hills is on a cold wintery weekend, the rain pelting the window of a rustic cellar door, a fire roaring, a glass of Shiraz, Pinot Noir or even Tempranillo in hand and a bowl of warming, slow cooked nourishment on your lap.

So, don’t let the cooler months stop you from getting out and experiencing the best of South Australia. It’s been a tough few years for everyone so why not treat yourself to a much needed day out and support the local economy at the same time!
