Albion’s Adela Wine Bar is stoking curiosity for experimental and unheralded drops

As Australia's wine scene has expanded in diversity and scope, our drinking tastes have increased in complexity. More often are we seeking unconventional sips and experimental options. We hunt for vino from small-batch makers and growers that employ regenerative farming practices. Funky is no longer a frightening word, neither is natural (or sediment, for that matter). We crave a closer connection to the wine we drink, most often through hearing the stories behind each label. While it's not always feasible to visit a winemaker in person, places like Adela Wine Bar in Albion not only make it easier to source curious wines, but also learn a bit more about them. The cosy wine bar is open now, with a 150-strong selection of bottles from an assortment of makers available alongside Euro-inspired food made with fine-dining flair. more

Is there any restaurant crew on a hotter streak than the Talisman Group? After opening three well-received venues in 2022, the hospo hit maker is set to make 2023 another banner year with the opening of its biggest concept yet.

Pavement Whispers: restaurateur Simon Barakat to elevate the epicurean offering at the Thomas Dixon Centre

Simon Barakat is taking the reins of the Thomas Dixon Centre’s private event spaces and will also open two new venues at the precinct early next year – an approachable bistro-style eatery and a signature restaurant tucked away amongst the building’s foundations. Here’s what we know … more
