A day at the winery is more than just a sip of your favorite vintage—it’s an experience. Between sun-drenched vineyards, tasting rooms, and charming countryside photo ops, it’s the perfect excuse to get a little dressed up. But not just any outfit will do. A playsuit, in particular, offers the perfect balance of effortless elegance, comfort, and camera-ready style for winery weekends.
Enter: the Loraine Playsuit—a statement piece from Santori The Label that embodies casual chic with a refined edge. Whether you’re wandering through Margaret River or enjoying a long lunch in the Hunter Valley, this playsuit is your perfect match. And yes, while technically not a "dress," this short, tailored piece fits seamlessly under the style umbrella of short dresses, delivering the same flirty femininity with added freedom of movement.
In today’s guide, we’ll help you curate your ultimate winery weekend look around the Loraine Playsuit and explore a few complementary outfit ideas to pack for your next vineyard escape.
Why Winery Fashion Matters
Winery weekends strike that rare balance between laid-back leisure and upscale charm. The setting is typically picturesque, which means your outfit should hold its own next to vineyard rows and sunset skies.
Fashion-wise, this means:
Breezy silhouettes
Natural fabrics
Soft, warm colour palettes
Flattering fits that work for both seated tastings and scenic strolls
If you’ve ever debated between going too casual or overly formal, here’s the secret: lean into short dresses or tailored playsuits. They’re flattering, breathable, and hit that sweet spot between elegant and relaxed.
Meet the Loraine Playsuit
Crafted with precision and intention, the Loraine Playsuit is a standout in Santori’s seasonal collection. It’s where playful femininity meets elevated design.
Key Features:
Fabric: Lightweight, breathable fabric that moves with you
Colour: Crisp, clean white—ideal for sunny days and neutral accessorising
Silhouette: Fitted waist with a relaxed short, giving the illusion of a mini dress
Details: Structured neckline, subtle gold hardware, and a concealed zip for a seamless look
This playsuit isn’t just about aesthetics—it’s also incredibly practical. The shorts allow for comfort during long walks through vineyards or spontaneous picnics on the grass, while the tailored top half keeps the look polished and flattering.
Styling Your Winery Weekend Look
Here’s how we suggest you style the Loraine Playsuit for maximum vineyard elegance:
Layer with Light
Bring along a cream coat or light cardigan for cooler afternoons. The softness of cream complements the white playsuit beautifully and adds dimension to your look.

Opt for tan leather sandals or nude espadrille wedges. These add height without sacrificing comfort on uneven ground.Accessorise Thoughtfully
Pair with a wide-brimmed straw hat and minimalist gold jewelry. A woven crossbody bag finishes the look while keeping your hands free for wine tasting.Beauty Tip
Go for soft, natural makeup with a pop of colour on the lips—think wine-inspired berry shades to tie into your surroundings.

Winery Etiquette: Dress with the Setting in Mind
When dressing for a winery, remember you’re blending into a semi-formal yet rural setting. That means:
Avoid stilettos (they sink into grass)
Skip overly loud prints or neon tones
Don’t forget sunglasses or SPF
And while white is always a statement, you’ll want to be extra careful during tastings—especially with reds. A pro tip? Drape your napkin when seated or carry a silk scarf as a chic layer of protection.
Why We Love Short Dresses for Winery Getaways
At Santori, we believe that short dresses (and yes, playsuits too) offer the perfect blend of:
Breathability in warm weather
Freedom of movement for exploring
Photogenic silhouettes for winery backdrops
Day-to-night adaptability for post-winery dinners
They’re easy to style, flattering on all body types, and always on-trend when done right.
Mixing Function with Flair: Why the Playsuit Wins
The beauty of the Loraine lies in how it merges two important wardrobe essentials: structure and comfort. Unlike traditional short dresses, it offers the elegance of a dress with the practicality of shorts—no need to worry about wind or wardrobe malfunctions when you're walking between cellar doors.
This is especially valuable during winery weekends where the day might include sitting on picnic blankets, climbing steps to lookout points, or indulging in a game of lawn bocce. With this piece, you’re stylish and covered—literally.
It’s also a time-saving option. You don’t need to think about matching a top and bottom or layering under sheer fabrics. It’s one and done, just like your wine flight.
Pair it with a green jacket or a cream coat from the Santori outerwear collection and you’ve instantly transformed a warm-weather look into a trans-seasonal favourite. The styling potential makes this outfit not just an occasional choice but a core piece for your weekend wardrobe.
In short: if you’re after something unique yet versatile for your next vineyard visit, the Loraine is your go-to. Sip, stroll, and shine—Santori style.
Final Thoughts: Sip in Style with Santori
The perfect winery weekend starts with the right outfit, and the Loraine Playsuit is a foolproof choice. Whether you’re wine tasting in Yarra Valley or sipping rosé in South Australia, this look gives you confidence, comfort, and chic in equal measure.
Pair it with versatile accessories, be mindful of your environment, and don’t forget to take those vineyard photos—because nothing says living the good life like good wine, great style, and unforgettable memories.
