Chris' Charcoal Grill at Coonawarra After Dark

Raidis Estate Winery loves a celebration, and this one is sure to be extra special: Chris Raidis is coming out of cooking retirement to deliver his signature dishes. Arrive hungry — the menu includes charcoal-grilled pork shaslicks and pita, Greek salad and rice, garlic beans and tzatziki. And to drink? Take your pick from Raidis Estate wine, or beer and cider near and far away. The evening will be hosted at the Raidis Estate Cellar Door on the northern side of Penola, a destination that overlooks the vines, orchard and vegetable garden established and nurtured by Chris. Expect the property’s charcoal grill to be at its best, and keep an eye out for Billy the goat — a family member so beloved he ended up on the wine label! All ingredients at Coonawarra After Dark will be sourced from the surrounding Limestone Coast region, whose terra rossa soils nourish grapes, crops and livestock alike. Local musicians Limestone Americana will be on hand to foster festive vibes.
