Our events
Good times, great wine and even better company.
For years, events were one of our favourite parts of Koonara Wines – the cellar door gatherings, the Food and Wine Fiestas, the platinum marquees at Mount Gambier, Dunkeld and Ballarat. Watching everyone enjoy themselves, glass in hand, is something we’ll always look back on with a lot of joy.
We’re no longer hosting events, but the wines are still here.
Thank you, genuinely, to everyone who came along over the years and made those occasions so good.
