Last weekend marked the penultimate weekend of Coonawarra Cellar Dwellers celebrations and people continued to soak up the atmosphere in the renowned wine region.
The ‘Long Lunch Upstairs at Hollick’ was well-attended, where people enjoyed an afternoon sipping glasses of back-vintage Hollick Estates wines paired with high quality produce.
Hollick Estates collaborated with other food producers to create a five-course meal, winemaker Trent Nankivell discussed current and historical wines and chef Lucky spoke about the food.
Hollick Estates cellar door supervisor Madi Lawson said everyone had a great time and Hollick would host another Long Lunch in October during the Coonawarra Cabernet Celebrations.
“It was all very positive feedback and everyone loved it,” Ms Lawson said.
The Blok Coonawarra held their final High Tea, serving up home-made savouries, sweets, scones with Ann Trotter’s famous Cabernet Jam, tea on vintage China and wine in their cosy cellar door.
Raidis Estate held their last ‘Pizza and Tunes’ event, where attendees enjoyed a relaxed afternoon with wine and pizzas while listening to live music.
