The Munda Wine Bar
Gather Around
This AFL Gather Round, we're bringing together an epic collaboration of First Nations brands - who just happen to boast some pretty unbeatable AFL pedigrees - to create The Munda Wine Bar, in partnership with the Adelaide Festival Centre.
Featuring our award-winning wines, a daily cocktail special created by Daniel and Steven Motlop at Seven Seasons Spirits, and refreshing hard seltzers from Rigby Barnes at Gangurru Seltzer - the Munda Wine Bar is your ultimate Gather Round refreshment pit stop, just five minutes from the Adelaide Oval in the heart of the Festival Plaza.
Open from 4pm daily (and 12pm on Saturday), you'll find us in the thoroughfare between the Adelaide Train Station and the pedestrian footbridge to the Adelaide Oval - just look for the signs (or listen for the tunes).
Drop in, grab a glass, bring your crew. We'll see you there.
