Balnaves of Coonawarra
Balnaves wines are 100% Coonawarra, and produced exclusively from fruit grown by the Balnaves Family in Coonawarra. They strive to produce consistently high quality wines from fruit sourced from their own Coonawarra vineyards, reflecting the unique flavours, character and quality of fruit grown in this area, as well as the variation of seasons in this cool climate area.
Brand’s Laira Coonawarra
It was in 1893 that an English sea captain named Captain Henry Stentiford, purchased a block of land right in the heart of Coonawarra and named the estate ‘Laira’ after his beloved ship. The name ‘Brand’s Laira’ was introduced some 50 years later in 1950, when Eric Brand (a baker by trade) and his wife Nancy Redman acquired the same 4 hectare property with just over 2 hectares of Shiraz.
Bellwether Wines
When you arrive, you’ll likely be greeted by Mabel. Say G’day to this cheeky maremma before sliding open the old wooden door of their tasting room, where you can sip on their sustainable varieties. You'll also likely run into winemaker Sue Hill, whose passion for Country is evident in every wine she creates, the food she makes, even down to the planning of events and experiences on-site.
DiGiorgio Family Wines
DiGiorgio Family Wines is a small family owned and operated winery right in the heart of Coonawarra. The winery, the second oldest in the region, is surrounded by 13.5 hectares of vineyard, planted as early as 1963, growing in this world renowned shallow Terra Rossa soil.
Parker Estate
Parker Estate pours more than just great cabernet. It’s also renowned for its outstanding craft beer and gin tastings, featuring three artisanal varieties. Enjoy them outside in summer on the sprawling lawns that wrap around the cellar door, or in the intimate tasting room with floor-to-ceiling windows that lead out to the lawns and vines beyond (with a wood fire to cosy up to in winter).
Wynns Coonawarra Estate
Wynns produces an annual collection of red and white wines acclaimed for their consistent quality and depth of flavour, including two flagship reds - John Riddoch Cabernet Sauvignon and Michael Shiraz.
