Winter Solstice 2026

Winter Solstice at Summit Estate

Saturday 20 June 2026

Join us at Summit Estate Wines to celebrate the longest night of the year with wine, fire and good company.

The afternoon begins with a hosted 7-course wine pairing long lunch, a relaxed guided tasting experience featuring Summit Estate wines alongside seasonal dishes.

As the sun sets, the estate transforms into a winter fire gathering with live music, campfires and a festive atmosphere among the vines.

At sunset, enjoy a fire twirling performance followed by the burning of the Wickerman, where guests are invited to write a wish for the season ahead and offer it to the fire.
