SAVVY Wine Soirées | Launching with South Australia’s Best

October marks an exciting milestone — the official launch of SAVVY Wine Soirées.

SAVVY began as a simple idea — to bring South Australia’s boutique producers and wine lovers together. Now, that idea is becoming a reality. I’m thrilled to announce that I’ll be hosting three launch soirées this month, each featuring twelve exceptional South Australian wineries that have graciously come on board and donated their wines.

These intimate wine events aren’t about formality — they’re about connection. They’re about sharing the stories behind the wines, the people who craft them, and the regions that inspire them.

The Wineries Behind the Launch

I’m deeply grateful to the wineries who have chosen to be part of this launch and help bring SAVVY to life — you can learn more about them on our Partners in Wine page.

Participating producers include:
The Mysterious Mr Black’s, Hoffmann Family Vineyards, Matriarch & Rogue, Miss Zilm Wines, NSE Wines, Blewitt Springs Wine Co, Anthologist, Coulter Wines, Sew & Sew Wines, Berg Herring, George’s Folly, and Genista Wines.

Each producer brings their own personality, passion, and philosophy to the table; however, they all share a common thread: authenticity, craftsmanship, and a genuine love of what they do.

What to expect this October

Across three evenings in October, these wines will be poured, photographed, and featured on reels, stories, and posts that celebrate each winery’s individuality and its place in South Australia’s vibrant boutique wine community.

This is the beginning of something special — an invitation to rediscover the beauty of small-batch winemaking, shared moments, and meaningful connections.

To the twelve producers supporting this launch: thank you. Your generosity, belief, and collaboration have made this possible.
