Wine Advent Calendars 2025

The Australian Wine Advent Calendar Tradition

Wine advent calendars turn December into a structured wine education. Each bottle teaches you something new about Australian winemaking. A Barossa Valley Shiraz shows you what bold Australian reds can achieve. A Clare Valley Riesling demonstrates real minerality in white wines.

These calendars transform seasonal novelty into genuine wine education. Each bottle represents careful selection by our team, who know that December deserves better wines and Christmas should taste exceptional.

These aren’t random mixed cases. Each calendar is a curated journey of 12 full bottles worth over $350. Behind every window is a bottle selected for festive drinking, regional character and variety. You open one door a day from 13–24 December, with a final bottle for Christmas Day. Whether you’re gifting a wine lover or treating yourself, every reveal brings something new to the table.

Why Wine Advent Calendars Work?

Simple concept: 12 numbered windows, 12 full bottles, 12 days of discovery starting December 13th. Behind each window sits a carefully selected 750ml bottle from established wineries across Australia, New Zealand, and France. No guesswork, no disappointments - each wine is chosen for its quality and seasonal appeal.

Our Three Wine Advent Calendar Options

2025 Red Wines Xmas Advent Calendar

This calendar is a love letter to Australian reds. Inside are 12 different red wines sourced from leading regions including Barossa Valley, McLaren Vale, Riverland and Tasmania. Expect a line-up that moves from bold Shiraz and structured Cabernet to silky Pinot Noir, Merlot and creative blends. All wines are 100% Australian, supporting local winemakers and showcasing the diversity of the country’s red wine scene. Many of these bottles are bottled shortly before packing to ensure you taste them at their freshest. Each wine is selected for festive meals, summer evenings and Christmas Day celebrations.
