Walk to the Waterhole – Sinkholes, Caves & Stories Beneath Your Feet

PLEASE NOTE THAT THE EVENT DATE HAS BEEN MOVED FORWARD FROM JULY 20TH TO JULY 13TH.

Twice a year, we offer an event to step beyond the vineyards and gardens at Caroline Hills, into the fascinating underground world that shapes our land. Join us for a guided Walk to the Waterhole, where geology, water, and history unfold beneath your feet. Meander along a 400-metre walkway lined with native trees and shrubs, propagated and planted by owners Terry and Helen. As you walk, Helen will share insights into the regeneration of the property and the vibrant ecosystem they’ve cultivated.

Enjoy a picnic lunch at the waterhole hut, take in the surroundings, and hear about what lies beneath the surface in this ever-evolving landscape. Settle in for a gourmet picnic lunch, paired with a choice of beer, wine, mocktail, or soft drink. With the fire crackling and the peaceful surroundings, you’ll have a chance to truly unwind. Learn the secrets of the underground aquifers, sinkholes, caves, and waterholes that define the unique geography of the Limestone Coast.

Escape to the peaceful countryside outside Mount Gambier and immerse yourself in nature, local flavours, and fascinating stories of the Limestone Coast at Caroline Hills Winery.

Winemaker and geographer Terry will share the secrets of the underground aquifer, sinkholes, caves, and waterholes that define the unique geography of the Limestone Coast, offering a fascinating glimpse into the forces shaping the land.

Sustainability and Regeneration 

Caroline Hills has a rich history of regenerative action, transforming bare paddocks into thriving vineyards, gardens, and native vegetation shelter belts and corridors. This balance supports diverse insect and bird life, enriching both the winery and its surroundings—a true sanctuary.
