Stonier Fire & Wine Winter Lunch

Stonier's annual winter party. Food cooked over coals, new release Stonier wines, fires lit, live music, masterclasses and tours through the day. Sells out fast.

Worth the drive

Stonier's annual winter party luncheon. Food cooked over coals, new release Stonier wines on every table, fires lit through the property, live music, masterclasses and short vineyard tours running across the day. Past chefs have been MoVida and Farmer's Daughters; the 2026 line-up isn't announced yet.

The KBS Wine Club gets the early-bird ticket release and the discount. The general release tickets sell out within days, so set a reminder for the Stonier email and Instagram drop in late June.

Dress warm and bring a coat for the walk between the fires and the cellar door. Stay overnight in Red Hill or Merricks and make the Merricks General Store breakfast the next morning.

Keep planning
