National Wine Centre of Australia

I visited Adelaide Botanic Garden yesterday and passed-by this National Wine Centre of Australia (NWC). This is a great facility. With a cafe, wine tasting facility and function rooms and big event hall etc. There were several wedding ceremonies held on the lawns of Adelaide Botanic Garden yesterday, I wondered one of the group would probably come to this beautiful big event hall to have a wedding banquet. I didn't stay long in this NWC yesterday. I would definitely do a formal visit next time and will try their cafe and wine tasting facility.

120 wines from across Australia for tasting or enjoying half or full glass. Excellent food / menu to accompany the wine. A sommelier led experience... definitely an experiemce to do over 2 days due to the number of wines. 1 wine card gets you 10 tasting measures.

Lovely & modern venue. Impressive. Also, A venue with conference rooms, wine cellar, small art gallery with lovely artwork of flowers and natives. A cafe with friendly staff and well made cappuccinos served by a friendly guy.

this one is located in the corner of botanic garden at the east side of the park, today attending an event in exhibition hall and the environment is friendly and relaxing such a good occasion for presentation enjoyed quite do appreciate it morning bakery tasting good, i esp like the vegetarian tart having strong taste and sweeties croissant is lovely too even it isn’t hot at all the lunch meal is just fine not many choices only creamy chicken for the meat but i do like the pumpkin vegetables salads, and the fruits are good and sweet lovely one for closing lunch yaya good place for holding event in relaxing mood and professional environment national wine center of australia rating of mine: 4.5

Free entry to space but must book tour to see cellar. Self-guided tour possible without cellar entry. Lovely walk around. Great tasting options at Wined. Self-guided tasting or wine flights possible, lovely charcuterie board. Pretty much caters for everyone, wine lover, newbies, hungry people, snacky people and much more. great day out

I thoroughly enjoyed my time here after expecting a simple kiosk while wandering the gardens. Gnocci was amazing, wine lovely. I didn't do tasting, but what a spot to sample Aussie wines! Staff were welcoming and friendly.

We were travelling around Adelaide (Jan 2026) and were wanting to view the botanic gardens. It was 47 degrees that day and being in a wheelchair I wanted to park as close to the buildings as I could. I found disabled parking in the shade next to the National Wine Centre, technically reserved for their clients. We went into the gardens and as we came out we decided to go into the wine centre for a coffee. What a pleasant surprise! The wine centre staff were great I had coffee and cake and decided to have an explore. There is a massive disabled ramp up the middle of the Centre which is easy to push up. There plaques to read about wine all the way up the ramp. On reaching the top there is a display room where there are videos, examples of types of grapes, you can sniff/smell wine of different types in an “aerator”. The history of wine making. I think the $25 tour would be well worth the money. The rooms upstairs had displays of labels. I was really pleasantly surprised to find a real gem. The only gripe. It was the end of the day and I asked about using the disabled toilet, which was very clean. When I came out the back doors and the gate to the disabled bays were locked I had to push around the block to get to the toilets. All in all though a surprise which I would definitely go back to again and do the tour. Seems a great venue for weddings and was a wonderful respite from the heat.

Excellent wine tasting experience but the museum / information part on wine in Australia was quite limited. You can choose from 120 wines to taste, choosing a tasting amount / half glass or full glass for each. Very enjoyable!
