Coonawarra Fringe is uncorked again in 2026 – where South Australia's oldest wine region meets the magic of Adelaide Fringe for two weekends of unforgettable fun among the vines.
This year's program is bursting with flavour: from VIP wine tastings with a twist and a barrel-room French cabaret, to a side-splitting comedy club, a five-star children's bubble show, and a long lunch among the vines featuring local food and wine makers, hosted by one of Australia's top comedians. Lounge on the lawns at sunset, glass in hand, laughter all around, wander the Coonawarra Wineries Walking Trail, and let the region's best cellar doors and some of Australia's performers entertain you from day to night. There's so much more to explore—uncork your spirit and join us for wine, laughs, and good times.
Presented in partnership with RAA and South Australian Tourism.
Dave O'Neil as seen on 'Spicks and Specks' (69 appearances!) and 'Fisk' returns with a brand new stand up show. He's sick of being called a Boomer when he's in fact Gen X. Ok, sure, he's 60 now and yes his life involves colonoscopies, podiatrist appointments, and soft food, but hey, he gets to sit on the special seat on the bus. A cackfest of the highest proportions!
'O'Neil is a comedy juggernaut, a never ceasing volley of rapid wit.' ★★★★★ Theatre Matters
