National Wine Centre of Australia
This timber, steel, and glass building resembles a huge wine barrel from the outside and the soaring open-plan interior provides a suitably spectacular setting for the incredible showcase of Australian wines. The Wine Discovery Guided Tour, offered daily at 11 am, takes you from Neolithic pottery jars to modern stainless-steel tanks, and you can even make your own virtual wine on a touch-screen computer. Guided tastings start at A$50 per person, while the on-site Wined Bar features state-of-the-art enomatic servers pouring 120 wines drawn from all over Australia. Iconic drops, including Penfold's Grange and Henschke's Hill of Grace, make regular appearances, and there’s also a good all-day menu that includes a great selection of local cheeses and smoked meats.
