Here's what’s open in McLaren Vale and Fleurieu Coast today. A great way to support local.
Overview
So, what is "The Alpine Shed" Experience?
Shed. Snow (imagined). Cheese. Chaos (the fun kind).
The Alpine Shed is where the Fleurieu gets its Euro winter groove on — a cheeky, cheese-fuelled celebration held inside the working winery shed of Poppelvej Wines, nestled in the misty Willunga Foothills.
Think of it as après-ski without the skiing: long tables, low lighting, fire pits, funky Poppelvej wines, and melted cheese scraped live onto your plate by Arnaud — the raclette king himself from Raclette Sympatik.
What's On the (Very Cosy) Menu:
Raclette feast by Arnaud from Raclette Sympatik
– bubbling French cheese poured over freshly baked bread by local Andy Clappis , charcuterie, and pickled things
Wine tastings from Uffe and the legends at Poppelvej
Italian-style gelato to finish on a chill note
Welcome gløgg or mulled wine to warm you from the inside out
Tunes, fire pits, and vineyard shed vibes that feel like a hug in event form
Dress the Part – Win a Prize!
Break out the vintage après-ski look, puffers, Nordic knits, or go full chalet-chic — we're giving away a prize for Best Dressed in Ski Gear. The quirkier, the better. Think 1980s snow bunny meets Willunga wine shed!
