Pinot Picnic

That’s a wrap on Pinot Picnic 2025! While the festival may be over, the memories live on. We’re looking forward to sharing a collection of beautiful moments captured by photographer Tristan McKenzie over the coming weeks 📸

Make the most of your Pinot Picnic weekend by visiting the region’s welcoming cellar doors, where you can enjoy intimate tastings and meet the makers behind the wines.

From boutique family-run vineyards to acclaimed cool-climate producers, a cellar door visit offers the perfect opportunity to deepen your appreciation for the Southern Forests’ unique terroir - and take home a few favourites to enjoy later.

It’s the ideal complement to a weekend of festival fun, great food, and Pinot Noir discovery.

Head to the SFWR website to view the cellar doors of the region:
