Coonawarra Classics.....

Get your tickets to Swirl, Sniff, Spit's Coonawarra Classics tasting here.

Think Coonawarra, and thoughts of sumptuous reds spring to mind – from the rich rust-coloured Terra Rossa soil for which it’s internationally recognised, to the prized red wines that have made it famous. There are the ruddy cheeks of those who tend the vines; the crimson sunsets that sweep across a vast horizon; and of course, there’s the fiery passion in the veins of our vignerons and winemakers. 


To that we've added some bubbles to get the evening going, a few white wines and matched it all to traditional greek food from Kafe Meze.
