Bio-security – Don’t spead Phylloxera

Coonawarra’s vineyards are world-renowned, and it’s vital we protect them from the threat of phylloxera, a destructive vineyard pest. To help us safeguard the region, we ask all participants to follow these important biosecurity guidelines:

  • One dog per person – each dog must have a dedicated handler.
  • All dogs must remain on-leash at all times.
  • Stay on the designated walking trail – please do not enter vineyard rows or walk/drive into areas beyond the marked path.
  • Phylloxera Foot Bath – use the provided foot bath stations if required before entering the trail.
