21st – 23rd October, venues around the Riverland: A festival of regional wine and food
Find out why the Riverland is the most exciting wine region in South Australia by visiting one of our small wine producers at the 2022 Riverland Small Winemakers Showcase. Held in venues around the region we encourage you to Stay and Play so you can immerse yourself in a different experience each day of the Showcase. Kicking off on Friday night with a wine and food themed movie at Top Block Wines, the showcase continues on Saturday with the small winemakers opening their doors for a variety of wine, food and entertainment events. Sunday starts with a lazy all-day brunch at the Riverland Wine Centre, continues with open cellar doors, and finishes with Karaoke and Wine Cocktails. This is truly a festival of all good Riverland wine and food!
Our accomodation and transfer partners will make sure you have a good night’s sleep in a fabulous location, and will arrive safely at your chosen events for the day.
