TASTING IN THE TANK

THE Uraidla Hotel, a magnet for wine lovers, offers visitors the chance to do a 30-minute wine tasting in The Tank – its spectacular underground cellar. Book ahead for tastings for between two and eight people, for $25 per head.

Licensed in 1867, The Uraidla Hotel has seen many proprietors come and go, and each one has left their individual legacy for the next. The Uraidla Hotel is open Monday-Friday noon-2.30pm and 5.30-8.30pm and all day for dining for noon-8.30pm.

Think dishes like a seasonal tasting board, or maybe Butcher’s Cut of Steak with hot garlic cream, charred chilli buttered corn, potato salad and mustard greens. The wine list features star local winemakers, Adelaide Hills, interstate and international selections.
