The sold-out Wine + Wardrobe event presented by Onio Boutique was a night filled with fabulous fashion, gourmet goodies, local wine, and entertainment.
The event was held at Serafino Wines, in McLaren Vale. The region is well known for quality wine, so it seems only fitting that the event took place here.
Our tickets included return bus transport, wine, cocktail food, live entertainment and access to the fashion show; non-transport tickets were also available for purchase too.
It was comforting to know that proceeds from the ticket sales would go to Make-A-Wish Australia. The charity helps make the wishes of children and teenagers battling with life-threatening illnesses come true. Wine + Wardrobe also organised a raffle to raise further funds for the charity; the goal was $5,000, but together we managed to raise over $6,000 on the night!
Raffle prizes were generously donated by Salena Estate Wines, Hilton Adelaide, Jurlique, Lunch Bunch Edible Bouquets, Gelato Bello, Oak & Ivory, IAMAMARA Illustrations, BrushdLove, Soul to Soul and others.

Samantha Maschio, Domenique Caraccia (owner of Onio Boutique) and Alexia Eleni (owner of 808 Threads) were our gracious hosts, who helped all guests feel welcome. The venue itself had a rustic charm to it, creating a warm and inviting environment. We enjoyed live music by Renae Albuino (singer) and Kyle Demasi (DJ), while walking around with a glass of Serafino wine in hand. Serafino Wines treated us to an open bar, with a selection of their finest wines. The fun didn’t stop there; we also got to create our own plate filled with gourmet goodies from the grazing table, catered by Tasteful Tables. Guests took advantage of the beautiful flower frame, by A Wall of Flowers, and the Wine + Wardrobe sign, by The Little Laser Co; many photos were taken there that night.
Now, onto the fashion! The runway showcased a variety of local boutiques and clothing lines for men and women. These included 808 Threads, Emente Apparel, Beach Life Clay, Harvey Seeker, Steeze Villains Clothing, Siskool and Brooks & Badger; each with their own unique style and flair. It was refreshing to see a variety of models, coming in all shapes and sizes. 808 Threads is one of the boutiques who actively promote body positivity and empowerment. They provide affordable garment hire for women size 10 and up; they love looking out for our gorgeous curvy SA ladies. During the intermittent, dancers from Star Academy Adelaide performed and kept us all entertained.
Upon departure, all guests were given a Jurlique gift bag to take home. NYX Professional Makeup Australia and Brascos Pizzeria also added some goodies to the bag too. Overall, the event proved to be a fun-filled night all about supporting our local businesses, while raising money for those who need it most. Congratulations to Onio Boutique for presenting yet another successful Wine + Wardrobe event! I’m already looking forward to the next one!
