What is the best time to visit Coonawarra?

The best time to visit Coonawarra is in spring and summer when wildflowers speckle the countryside, and the vines are in full bloom. You can also time your arrival for the month-long Cabernet Festival in October, or combine a summer visit with a road trip along the coast. Don’t worry about missing out if you visit out of season—the town also hosts a winter wine festival in July.
