This is an exceptional festival that celebrates the extraordinary with an erudite selection of obscure and well known classical music presented in structured concert events with meals. Coriole is one of those wineries that has always supported the arts in South Australia (and Australia) with a generosity and consistency unmatched by any other winery.

Coonawarra Arts Festival
May 14 to 17
We’ve never been to the festival but have heard great reports. It also seems a terrific opportunity to visit the Coonawarra and visit two of South Australia’ s best regional restaurants, each very different form the other they are both small and reservations should be made immediately if you are planning to attend the festival. If you have never been to the region it can be very cold at night but the rising morning mists are particularly spectacular. click here to go to the festival web site where all details are listed.
Pipers of Penola would receive real national acclaim if it was just a little closer to a city centre. A tiny restaurant it is owner operated by chef Simon Bowen and his partner Erika Burg. Food, service and wine list are excellent. read their review
Upstairs at Hollicks is the brainchild of winemaker Wendy Hollick. The restaurant has a lovely vineyard aspect that especially clarifies why the region is noted for its particular terroir. Food is inexpensive for the quality and of course there is the added enjoyment of Hollick’s wines at virtually cellar door prices. read their review
