  • Kies Family Wines: Tilly Luna Moon Lantern Festival

    Kies Family Wines: Tilly Luna Moon Lantern Festival

    12 July from 12pm

    The Kies family is over the moon to welcome little Tilly Luna, daughter of Bronson and Lidija Kies and little sister to Shepard Vuk and Gabriella—born 30th May 2025.

    To mark this joyful arrival, we’ve crafted something truly special: the Tilly Luna Sweet Riesling. After the worst frost in decades, just a handful of golden Riesling berries remained—glimmering in the darkness, much like Tilly herself, and just like the label that now bears her name. Hand-picked and delicately made, this lush, fruit-forward wine offers a finish as joyful and bright as her name.

    All the details:

    Join us as we celebrate with a Moon Lantern Festival in the winery, where the Tilly Luna label will quite literally shine (yes—it glows in the dark!).

    ~  Live music by Jamie Blechynden

    Kies Family Wines: Gather Round at Kies

    A Round Up of Gather Round

    Heading into Gather Round, we honestly didn’t know what to expect. We were nervous. Would anyone come? Would the effort be worth it? But you showed up – and how you showed up!

    2,424 of you came through our gates across the weekend, and we’re still pinching ourselves. Not only did you join us for wine, food, music, and laughter – you also sent our wines flying across the country with your orders. We are truly blown away and so grateful.

    A Big Thank You

    To every single person who visited, shared a laugh, raised a glass, or cheered from the lawn – THANK YOU. Your support means more to us than words can say.

    A special shoutout to Jack Madgen and the Adelaide Crows Football Club for running such a brilliant little football clinic. The kids were beaming – and the jerseys and footballs you handed out made their day (and probably their whole week).

    To our incredible market stallholders and the thrill-bringing team at Barossa Helicopters – you brought the fun and colour to the event, and we’re so thankful to have had you with us.

    And finally, to our team – our absolute legends. After backing up from a massive Easter, you tackled 14+ hour days with smiles, energy, and endless grace. We see you. We appreciate you. We couldn’t do it without you.

    Our hearts (and wine glasses) are full. Here’s to doing it all again next year!
