Chardonnay May | Adelaide Hills Wine Region May is Chardonnay month in the Adelaide Hills — and there's no better place to celebrate Australia's most exciting expression of the variety. Chardonnay May is a month-long celebration of the Adelaide Hills' world-renowned cool-climate Chardonnay, showcasing the diversity, precision and personality that have made the region a global benchmark. From crisp and mineral to textured and complex, this is Chardonnay in all its forms — shaped by altitude, climate and passionate winemakers. Throughout May, cellar doors, wineries and venues across the region come alive with tastings, special releases, long lunches and immersive experiences designed to put Chardonnay front and centre. It's an invitation to explore the Hills at a slower pace, sip, savour and discover what makes this region truly exceptional. A highlight of the program is Chardonnay Heroes, presented as part of Tasting Australia — a flagship event bringing together some of the region's most celebrated winemakers for an unmissable tasting experience. Meet the people behind the wines, hear their stories and taste the Chardonnays that have helped define the Adelaide Hills on the world stage. Whether you're a devoted Chardonnay lover or simply curious to explore, Chardonnay May is your chance to experience the variety, the region and the people who make the Adelaide Hills shine.
