Love Velo Vines Garden Party
Join in the fun and soak up the atmosphere of the Santos Tour Down Under at the Love Velo Vines Garden Party. Unfurl your picnic rug on the winery’s lush lawns and settle in for an afternoon of live music and entertainment set upon a stunning backdrop of coastal views stretching to Port Willunga.
Bring your family and friends to join spectators and cycling enthusiasts alike to experience the excitement of the iconic THINK! Road Safety Men’s Stage 4 Brighton to Willunga race on the big screen. Follow the last phase of the cyclists’ gruelling journey as they climb Willunga Hill in the notorious battle to win the day’s 176-kilometre race.
With food and picnic platters available for purchase along with soft drink, beer, and wines by Leconfield and Richard Hamilton, what more could you need?
The world’s eyes will be on the ‘Vale’, and you can be there in real life! Plan your day and apply your sunblock because this peak summer event is not to be missed.
Love Velo Vines Long Table Dinner
For those seeking a sophisticated way to wind down after the day’s thrilling spectacle, the Love Velo Vines Long Table Dinner is for you.
As the sun lowers in the sky, and the light casts over the aged vines, indulge in canapes and drinks before sitting down to a carefully curated 4 course meal. Discerning foodies will hear from the evening’s chef and wine specialist as they guide diners through the flavour pairings of the gourmet spread and share the stories behind the menu prepared from local produce.
This unique opportunity will be remembered long after the sun sets, and last drop of wine is drained. Book now to be a part of this special evening.
Love Velo Vines is proudly presented by the City of Onkaparinga and supported by Leconfield and Richard Hamilton Wines.
