End of Harvest Celebrations 2025

Marking five vintages of ChaLou with wine, food, and unforgettable company!

Our End of Harvest weekend was more than just a celebration — it was a reflection of everything we’ve been building over the past five vintages: community, care, and a deep connection to place.

We kicked off on Friday evening with Wine and Snacks — a relaxed and flavour-packed gathering hosted with chef Eilish Maloney of What If Society. Guests gathered around the winery for a tasting-style experience featuring some of her favourite snackable dishes, thoughtfully paired with ChaLou wines.

What If Society and ChaLou share a commitment to community, generosity, and meaningful experiences. It was such a treat to bring that shared energy to life!

Saturday’s Feast in the Barrel Room

Saturday was all about marking our fifth vintage at ChaLou! 

Together with a lovely group of guests, we enjoyed an End of Vintage Feast in our barrel room — a space transformed for the evening, glowing with conversation and festoon lights. Once again, Eilish was at the helm of the menu, delivering seasonal dishes that paired beautifully with our wines and the occasion itself.

It was celebratory in all the right ways.

Why It Matters

Five vintages in, we still pinch ourselves. What began as a vision — a quiet one, full of hope and hard work — has become a living thing. This event felt like a beautiful pause to take stock and say thank you.

To our friends, family, and wider community — those who support us by buying our wines, visiting the cellar door, and showing up to these special moments — you mean the world to us.

Captured Moments

We were lucky to have two brilliant photographers join us for the occasion:
