Throughout the year South Australia hosts some of the best food and wine festivals in the country. Producers, chefs and purveyors of fine food partner with an extensive range of winemakers and craft brewers and distillers to celebrate this State’s famous foodie culture.
Summer
Retreat to the cool of the Adelaide Hills during Crush, a sensory summer weekend of wines, regional produce, earthy music, art and theatre. More of a tribute to an
iconic seafood, Tunarama in Port Lincoln features the traditional tuna toss, plus stalls of local product and produce.
Autumn
Winemakers, brewers and distillers gather in the heart of Adelaide at the Cellar Door Fest for long table lunches, tastings and masterclasses. Tasting Australia is an eight-day extravaganza showcasing produce from around the State in a paddock-to-plate fashion in the heart of Adelaide, supported by many regional events. Celebrate the end of vintage with a variety of experiences, from degustation menus to exclusive tastings and dinners during the Clare Valley Gourmet Weekend.
Winter
In the depths of winter, you’ll find a wine festival designed to warm you from the inside out. Winter Reds is hosted in the Adelaide Hills, Sea and Vines takes place in McLaren Vale or you can travel to the Limestone Coast for Coonawarra Cellar Dwellers.
Spring
Celebrate the new season at Barossa Gourmet Weekend with a wide variety of events or try something more specific at Ceduna’s Oyster Fest. CheeseFest and Ferment in Adelaide celebrates the perfect pairing of wine and cheese.
