How to Buy Wine or Contact the National Wine Centre of Australia
Updated
The National Wine Centre of Australia (nationalwinecentre.com.au) is based in Adelaide and operates both a physical destination and an online shop. You can buy wine through the "Shop" section of the website, or by visiting in person at the Wined Bar, where a wine list is available. To contact the Centre directly, the published phone number is 08 8313 3355. The site also lists dedicated entry points for bookings, careers, news, and contact, so the right channel depends on what you need.
Buying wine
The website's navigation includes a Shop section, and the homepage highlights the line "From our cellar, to your door" — indicating wine can be ordered for delivery rather than only purchased on site. The Wined Bar also has its own Menu and Wine list pages if you want to see what is poured at the venue before deciding.
Practical steps:
- Go to the site and select Shop to browse wine for purchase and delivery.
- If you want to drink on site instead, check the Wined Bar menu and wine list pages.
- For a guided option, look under Experiences, which lists Wine tasting, Sommelier experience, and Food & wine experience.
The site does not publish pricing for shop items or experiences in the material available, so treat any cost as something to confirm at the point of booking or purchase.

The phone number is the only direct contact detail given in the source material. For anything specific — a booking change, a venue quote, or a shop order — the relevant page above is the intended route rather than a general enquiry.
Booking experiences and events
The Centre runs two distinct streams:
- Visitor experiences — tours, wine tasting, sommelier experiences, and food and wine experiences, booked via Book Experiences.
- Private and corporate events — the venue describes itself as a conference and events space with six versatile rooms, hosting everything from small meetings to functions for 10 to 1,500 guests. Listed spaces include Hickinbotham Hall, Hickinbotham Terrace, Exhibition Hall, The Gallery Room, The Vines Room, and the Ferguson and Broughton Rooms. Event types covered include conferences, meetings, exhibitions, Christmas parties, weddings, engagement parties, birthdays, school formals, anniversaries, and cocktail events. There are also Event Packages, Wedding packages, Day delegate packages, and a list of Preferred suppliers.
If your goal is to host something, start with the Events section and the package pages rather than the general contact form — the packages set out what is included before you enquire.
What's on
The What's On page lists upcoming events, including free options. Examples from the site include:
- NWC Artspace: New Select Works by Donovan Christie — 31 July to 27 September 2026.
- Meet the Maker – Jericho Wines — described as a free monthly event showcasing a South Australian wine brand.
- UnWined UnCovered: Grenache & Gourmet — free tastings with local producers on the last Friday of each month.
Dates and formats can change, so confirm on the What's On page before travelling.
Visiting in person
The Centre is located in Adelaide's city Botanic Garden precinct and describes itself as Australia's only city vineyard. The Visit Us section covers tours, tastings, parking, and public transport — useful if you are deciding between buying online and visiting the Wined Bar or a tasting session.
