Raidis Estate Winery: A Family Tradition for Over 40 Years

Located on the northern edge of Penola in Coonawarra, Raidis Estate is a family-owned winery with a rich history. Founded over forty years ago by Chris and Fran Raidis, the winery is now run by the next generation, Emma and Stevo Raidis. They are dedicated to producing premium wines using sustainable viticulture practices that emphasize minimal intervention in their boutique vineyard.

At Raidis Estate, simplicity and an organic approach define their winemaking philosophy.

Innovative Vineyard Practices with Goats

Raidis Estate Winery is passionate about creating wines that bring people together. They welcome visitors to share their story and the art of winemaking. The winery is not just a business; it’s a lifestyle for the Raidis family. One unique aspect of their vineyard management is the use of goats. These animals help maintain the vineyard by eating leftover fruit and grass, which contributes to soil health by returning organic matter.

Handpicked Grapes for Exceptional Wines

Raidis Estate cultivates a variety of grapes, including Shiraz, Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot, Pinot Gris, Riesling, and Sauvignon Blanc. The team handpicks the finest grapes to create their renowned red and white wines. Their commitment to quality ensures that every bottle offers a memorable experience for wine lovers and visitors alike.

The wine-tasting experience is amaaaazing. Hannah is a guru in all-things wine. She took us on an adventure from tailoring to our likes then introducing new ones that widen our wine experience. Highly recommend to anyone who wants sth special that cannot be found in Dan Murphy.

We did a wine tasting at this place, and it was such a great experience. The welcome was super friendly, the wines were delicious, and they even gave us a bottle of their wine to take home. A perfect way to keep the experience going! I can’t recommend this winery enough!

We were lucky enough to visit this winery for a Spring Shindig. The local chef cooked his famous Greek Charcoal Grill. There was a live rock music and an open fire. Totally friendly and cozy atmosphere. They offered a pretty good deal: $35 per one entry, voucher for a Greek charcoal grill with salad and mashed potato and one Riedel wine glass which we could keep as a souvenir. You can also buy a glass or bottle of wine - we got a bottle for $20 and spent an amazing evening in Coonawarra. Thank you for a great memory.
