HILLS AFTER DARK: Wine, canapés, and Juliet Oliver (live)

When the sun drops behind the Adelaide Hills, the cellar door shifts into something entirely different.

Firelight glows. Glasses fill. Music drifts through the dark.

Hills_After_Dark is the opening night of Winter Reds at Simon Tolley Wines — a fire-lit evening of premium wine, roaming canapés, and live acoustic sets from Juliet Oliver.

Settle in as the vineyard fades into night and the cellar door becomes a warm winter gathering space, filled with festival lights, seasonal food, and long-table atmosphere under the Hills sky.

THE EXPERIENCE

Your evening includes:

• Roaming canapés celebrating seasonal Adelaide Hills produce

• Simon Tolley wines, including winter reds and selected back vintages
