Brands Laira has got your next weekend trip covered!

Heading South East, four hours from Adelaide, lies the beautifully quaint wine region of Coonawarra. With famed vibrant red soils known as “Terra Rossa”, the region is abundant with character and a sense of community.

Home to more than 30 wineries, we invite you to step off the beaten track and unearth Coonawarra’s hidden gem – Brand’s Laira.

Planning a winter getaway? With a recent refurbishment by a local SA team, the Brand’s Laira Cellar Door is the ultimate Coonawarra winery to visit.

A large, expansive and contemporary interior welcomes guests to the Coonawarra cellar door, with a striking ceiling that shelters and preserves the legendary Eric’s Shed (the original Cellar Door). The space also has an indoor dining area, lounge and fireplace, making it a fine place to sit back and relax.

The stunning vineyard views are framed by floor-to-ceiling windows that open out onto the deck and lawn, so guests can enjoy alfresco dining area around the wood fire pizza oven.

It really is the perfect setting to enjoy some classic Coonawarra Cabernet Sauvignon and good food – but don’t let us tell you, watch the virtual tour and see for yourself what makes this cellar door one of the must-see destinations in the Coonawarra and Limestone Cost region.
