🥂 5 Best Local Wines to Enjoy After a Day Exploring Adelaide
There’s something about Adelaide that just invites you to slow down and enjoy the little things — like a walk through the hills, a lazy afternoon at the beach, or stumbling on that hidden café down a laneway. And when the day winds down? That’s wine time.
We’re lucky to be surrounded by some of the best wine regions in the country — and even luckier that you don’t need to go far to get your hands on a great bottle. Whether you’re unwinding solo, hosting mates, or just pairing your wine with a movie and a pizza, here are five top local wines worth sipping.
Even better? You don’t have to leave the couch. Orderoo offers fast, reliable liquor delivery across Adelaide — straight to your door.
🍇 1. Hither & Yon Nero d’Avola (McLaren Vale)
Deep crimson and packed with character, this McLaren Vale gem is bold but smooth. It’s bursting with dark forest berries, bergamot, spiced chai, and a cheeky bit of liquorice — all tied together by the rich red earth it’s grown in. The finish is round, succulent, and dangerously easy to love.
Vibe: You’ve had a long day but still want something with a bit of soul.
Pairs well with: Pizza, roasted veg, or a casual night in with your favourite playlist.
🍷 2. Shaw + Smith Sauvignon Blanc (Adelaide Hills)
Fresh, lively, and an absolute classic from the Adelaide Hills. This Sauvignon Blanc delivers ripe tropical fruit flavours with just enough grassy edge to keep things interesting. Crisp acidity, super refreshing, and guaranteed to be gone before you know it. It’s the kind of wine that suits just about any occasion — or no occasion at all.
Vibe: Clean, bright, and perfect for chilled afternoons.
Pairs well with: Sushi, salads, grilled seafood, or anything that deserves a little zing.
🍾 3. Bird in Hand Sparkling Pinot Noir (Adelaide Hills)
This sparkling rosé just screams springtime happiness. Light and elegant with notes of strawberry, cherry, and a refreshing burst of kiwifruit, it’s the ultimate backyard wine. Whether you’re celebrating something big or just the end of a long week, this bottle’s got you covered.
Vibe: Low-key celebration, just because.
Pairs well with: Cheese platters, brunch, picnics, or catching up with friends in the sun.
🍷 4. Alpha Box & Dice ‘Tarot’ Grenache (McLaren Vale)
This one’s a little bit artsy, a little bit bold — just like the winemakers behind it. It’s soft, juicy, and vibrant, with red fruit flavours that make it dangerously drinkable. If you’re into wines that have personality (and a cool label to match), this is your go-to.
Vibe: Indie, relaxed, and a little bit different.
Pairs well with: Fire pits, takeaway Thai, or your favourite record on repeat.
🍇 5. d’Arenberg ‘The Stump Jump’ Shiraz (McLaren Vale)
A bold and generous red, this Shiraz brings the goods. Big flavours of dark plum and spice, with that rich, full-bodied character that makes McLaren Vale famous. It’s a comforting, cosy wine that turns even a quiet night in into something special.
Vibe: Bold but approachable — like your best mate.
Pairs well with: BBQ, red meat, hearty pasta, or deep convos on the balcony.
