Australia’s premier CBD wine experience venue, the award-winning National Wine Centre of Australia has launched an exciting new series of tours intended for individuals, small and larger groups.  Designed as an ideal opportunity for those without the time to head out to a wine region, or as a perfect launchpad to discover the diversity of Australia’s wine regions ahead of further travels, the National Wine Centre tours have something to suit all ages, all needs and budgets.

The new tour and tasting options offered by the National Wine Centre include the opportunity for patrons,  for the very first time, to enjoy a sommelier hosted tasting or bespoke dining experience in the southern hemisphere’s largest open wine cellar amid almost 20,000 bottles that comprise one of the country’s most diverse and comprehensive collections of Australian wine.

Any of the National Wine Centre visitor experiences may be undertaken in conjunction with the Australian Wine Discovery tour which provides an excellent overview of Australia’s wine regions and most popular varietals.

All National Wine Centre  tour and tasting experiences may be expanded and enhanced with coffee,  a bar plate or luncheon dining opportunity in our ‘Wined’ bar and café or on our outdoor terrace overlooking the magnificent Botanic Gardens.

Jason Bird, General Manager – National Wine Centre said “the National Wine Centre of Australia has always been a top destination for visitors to Adelaide seeking a great Australian wine experience and these new tour and tasting options take it to a new level. We’re particularly excited about our new bespoke cellar dining and tasting offerings that provide a truly memorable experience like no other.  Our city cellar door with its 120 wines available for tasting from across Australia and ranging from entry level to Penfold’s Grange guarantees there will be something to suit every palette and wallet.

“The National Wine team of expert sommeliers is on hand daily to discuss all aspects of wine with all our visitors – from the wine expert to those who’ve not previously experienced a tasting opportunity.”
