    Make no mistake, this is a music review. Close your eyes and imagine... it's 1pm on a Monday, the sun is shining, you've come to a world class wine center to experience the best the region has to offer. You're seated outside, the food is exquisite, the service is friendly. After carefully considering your wine flight, you think about the wine regions across the world and what you're about to experience... And then the music kicks in. Here's a sample of what was blasting us away — in exact order: Rhythm of the night Rhythm is a dancer Hammer time Admittedly all bangers, but read the room. Am I at a world class wine center for lunch or working up a sweat in a dive bar at 2am?

    Really nice there, esp. the lovely garden. I just wanted to visit the wonderful Botanical Garden of Adelaide. And ended up in this wonderful bar. And in a comedy tasting.4 comedians presented from the Fringe festival. And you got a glass of wine. Not too bad. I'll definitely come again these days😍. Highly recommended if you want to escape the huzzlebuzzle in Rundle Street. Do enjoy it on hot summer days. Always a nize breeze in my favourised garden. And, as well, a place where you easily can get tickets for Fringe Festival. They have a box office there. And you just stay until evening/night. And you'll have finest comedy/impro. All the nice Fringe events. Just perfect. Actually, more than perfect. VERY friendly staff there as well. ENJOY YOURSELF!

    Staff need better training and the supervisor needs to check her attitude. I’m not one to write reviews but I’m so incensed by our poor treatment that I feel compelled to. We came in for lunch, decided what we wanted, so ordered at the bar. The young girl must have been quite new because she needed help to process our entertainment voucher and the whole order taking took a long time. Then the poor girl accidentally rang it all up on an already open tab so had to start again. All this time I was pleasant, not demanding, and patient. I could sense people behind us getting frustrated and her supervisor getting annoyed with her. I heard her say to the supervisor “they wanted to order here” to which I said, “oh I’m happy to pay later if it saves some time”. The supervisor then snipped back at me that it was “too late for that”. Clearly I’d made a grave error in ordering when/where I had. I now realise that it was likely table service however no one actually told us this. When I asked for a receipt(needed for tax purposes) this then took another long while for the poor girl to try to do, she asked if she could bring it to me later. I said, not nastily, “that’s ok, but I will need to get it” just so she knew it was important. Her supervisor snapped at me “you will get it” then snatched it from the other poor girl’s hand and threw it across the counter at me. The supervisor in question, who I will not name, should ensure her staff are trained properly and not blame customers for her own ineptitude to manage stress. We won’t be returning. Tip for customers: check if it’s table service or bar ordering (seems to change on a whim) and give yourself plenty of time to pay the bill.

    Wine o wine.. 120 wines to choose from, choose your size drink, insert card ans GO. Bit on the pricey side especially for the small sample size that only wets your mouth. But a great experince ans a must see for wine lovers. Locates in the surroundings of the botanical gardens

    Great idea, food is good and its great to have wines to taste on your own. Seemed a bit pricey just to try some of the wines. But great place to be for tourists.

    Popped in for a coffee and cake with a long time Friend, during an exploration of the botanic gardens. Looking forward to exploring the venue

    Great place to experience various wines.. Fun to use wine vending machine for tasting. Exhibition is rather weak though.

  • 5/5 Graham T. 2 years ago on Google • 89 reviews
    Great spot for a coffee and cake. Not a broad selection, but can recommend the caramel cheese cake; coffee is good too. I’m certain there is a vast variety of wines available, should that be your thing, and some nice looking platters. Quite busy but the coffee was delivered quickly and with icy cold glasses of water too.

    This is a great wine bar and great way to taste a wide variety of Australia wine. The VinoVin machines have loads of wine choices and are well curated to show of lots of different wine varietals, regions and styles. The food is great and worth it to make a light meal accompanying some wine. The charcuterie plate was tasty with choices of cheese and cured meats.

    Luke warm, weak coffee, stale cakes. Exceptional wines, lesson learned - stick with wine at a wine bar.

    Great place for a work lunch or event. The self serve enomatic wine dispenser is a novel addition. Had a combination of lunch menu and food from cabinet. Options to suit all budgets.

    The Wined bar is absolutely beautiful. We are regular customers and I am never disappointed by the service and range of food & wine on offer. A must visit for anyone in Adelaide. We highly recommend giving the Enomatic card a go - it's like an adult candy store!

    75th Birthday lunch, Wow!!! I have never done a four hour long lunch before at a restaurant. There was no pressure from the extremely accommodating staff to hurry. The food was beyond expectations and very reasonably priced. The wines were to die for. We will certainly be back. I would highly recommend it.

    We thought the meals were excellent and reasonably priced. A lovely waitress also helped find information for us on wine education courses they conduct at the centre. Above and beyond...gold star!!

    Great food and well-serviced staff.

  • 3/5 Bob E. 2 years ago on Google
    5 of us went to the wine bar for dinner The 3 tasting plates of wine were very nice and the waitress explained everything well Choice of main meals was limited We all ended up having fish and chips for $30 each and two plates of salade to share $10 each Wine tasting trio was around $16 each There were two weddings on. The second wedding which was downstairs was loud, loud, loud. It took 20 minutes for the bridal party and family to be introduced and then there was loud banging in between each introduction The noise was so deafening we finished up dinner , paid and left without coffee and be desert

    A must visit in Adelaide. Amazing building to see and lovely to sit in for a coffee or a meal. Well set up for functions with a variety of rooms and even beautiful for a wedding.

    Lovely courtyard on a warm summer night. Picnic rugs provided to sit on the grassed area with wine and snacks from the bar should you like. Great place to meet friends after work in the CBD where conversation isn't drowned out by the music volume. Uncorked nights are great to meet interesting, intelligent people and maybe make new social or professional connections. Service exceptional. Mature, sophisticated and civilised. Professional friendly service. Beautiful location neighbouring the Adelaide Botanic Gardens. Highly recommend🍷☺️
