CUP REVEAL: Coonawarra Vignerons president Peter Balnaves and 36 Degree South representative Jake Phillips stand at the reveal of the 2020 Vignerons Cup.

SPRING racing fever has hit the heart of Penola with the recent reveal of the 2020 36 Degree South Coonawarra Vignerons Cup.

Coonawarra Vignerons, sponsors, partners and special guests gather last Thursday for the official reveal, which marks the start of the racing season.

Regarded as a highlight on the country race meet calendar, the Coonawarra Vignerons Cup attracts over 3000 visitors to the Penola Racecourse each year.

The cup will be held on January 16, 2020.

More than 700 guests will attend the Coonawarra Vignerons Marquee, indulging in premium track-side hospitality, fundraising and world-class Coonawarra wines.

The prestigious cup trophy will continue to move along the famous Coonawarra strip in preparation for next year’s race.

Tickets to the event are now available.
