Patritti launches inaugural Spring Series to help SA artists build their audiences in the lead up to Fringe
Patritti will come alive this October with the first-ever Patritti Spring Series – three weeks of live performances, with something new to discover each night. Guests will be just meters from the stage in the intimate surrounds of the winery’s iconic barrel warehouse. From soulful tributes and laugh-out-loud cabaret to award-winning musical spectaculars, the series showcases some of South Australia’s most talented and awarded artists.
“We’re excited to welcome people to our Cellar Door to support local artists and celebrate art, community and culture” expressed Ben Heide, Winemaker & Sales Manager at Patritti. “It’s a truly unique experience right in the heart of suburban Adelaide.”
Producer of the 2025 Patritti Spring Series, Michelle Pearson, is championing South Australian talent by creating more opportunities for artists to grow their audiences beyond the state’s major festivals.
“During Mad March and festival season, audiences are more adventurous — they’re willing to take a chance on new work,” Pearson says. “With the Spring Series, we want to keep that momentum going. It’s about backing our incredible local talent and giving audiences the chance to experience world-class performances as the weather warms up.”
The 2025 program features an eclectic line-up including:
Boombox Bootscoot (Oct 16) – 80s hits with a country twist. (Lead Image)
