“All the brands have very different aesthetics and have wonderfully different offerings to our clients, so really there’s something for all shoppers,” Autark founder and designer Sophia McMahon tells Broadsheet. The initiative of City of Adelaide and South Australian Fashion Industry Association brings together slow-fashion label Autark and handbag and leather goods label Katya Komarova alongside Josephine-Rose, Lian by Lian, Peloponnese and illustrator Petar Prodanović. Get ‘em here.Ī pop-up studio and retail store for local creatives – Fashion Est – has opened on O’Connell Street in North Adelaide Village.
Tickets are $75 plus booking fee and include complimentary tastings, a $10 food voucher (to spend at any of the venues), a $25 voucher for event-day wine orders, and a tasting glass. The self-guided trail will pass through The Howling Owl, Brklyn, Two Pot Screamer, The Stag Public House, Mr Goodbar, Roxie’s, Hellbound and more, where the producers behind labels such as Vinteloper, Ricca Terra, Jericho Wines and La Linea will be set up for tastings and talks. The choose-your-own adventure Urban Wine Walk is back in town on August 27, with 10 stops throughout the east end.
Plus a tasting of single malt whiskies from Mornington Peninsula distillery Chief’s Son – paired with cheese and charcuterie from Bottega Rotolo – on September 1. The bar is also hosting a tasting on August 25 featuring a range of “age statement” whiskies from Scottish lowland legend Bladnoch. Barman Cody Banks has selected his favourite chocolates to go with a selection of whiskies – including Reese’s peanut-butter cups (matched with Ardbeg 10), Wagon Wheels (with Michters Small Batch bourbon), Curly Wurlys (with Knob Creek Rye) and Turkish Delight (with Overeem Port Cask) – for all of August. But that’s the kind of pairing you’ll find at Hains & Co this month. Less common is matching a 12-year-old Yamazaki (a single malt from Japan’s first and oldest malt distillery) with a Chomp bar. Whisk(e)y and chocolate is a time-honoured coupling. The mollusc-centric menu is available from Tuesday to Saturday, until August 31. Keep the shell-ebration going with a limited-edition sweet and slightly salty brew by Pirate Life – Reggie’s Oyster Stout – made with freshly shucked oysters from the Eyre Peninsula. Sean’s Kitchen’s annual Oyster Fest is back this month with a limited-edition menu featuring $1 Smoky Bay oysters aka “one buck shucks” (when you order a glass of champagne), as well as Nashville-style fried-oyster rolls, oyster and leek soup, oyster linguine, and more.
