Channelling our inner Fräulein Maria and sharing some of our SA faves! 

We’ve said it before and we’ll say it again: our sweet little Adelaide is bursting with incredible businesses for us all to enjoy. Here are some brands we’ve been crushing on lately…

Sydney Street

One of our regular go-tos for all things clothing! In particular, we’re big fans of their warm winter coats and gorgeous accessories. Sydney Street is all about ageless, timeless and effortless fashion, so you’ll find plenty of quality staples, as well as some bright and colourful statement pieces from local and international brands such as NYDJ, Elm, Betty Basics and Zjoosh. If you can’t make it to their Unley Road store, good news — you can shop online!

T BAR TEA

With over 120 tea blends to choose from, you’re bound to find your new fave! This local brand brings you the taste of tea from all around the world, packing their quality loose leaf tea into compostable bags in the heart of Adelaide. And when you shop online, you’ll receive a free sample with every order. Who knows what blend you might fall in love with next? A cosy mug of T BAR TEA is the perfect accompaniment when reading the latest issue of the Adelady magazine… just saying!

Honey Bang Bang

It’s Asian-fusion with a twist. This colourful gem in Littlehampton is BANGING good! It’s impossible to choose a favourite dish — your belly will celebrate no matter what you order. Keep things fresh with their Kingfish Sashimi, or treat your tastebuds to some spicy, melt-in-your-mouth Red Duck Curry, before finishing it off with a Rhubarb Margarita. But don’t let us tell you how to live your life… go and try everything on the menu for yourself!

Kimbolton Wines

What’s your drink of choice — a crisp white, a warming red, or a can of rosé spritz? Kimbolton Wines tick, tick, tick every box with their beautiful range of wines available online or in their unique Langhorne Creek cellar door made from shipping containers. Take the short 50-minute drive and reward yourself with a wine tasting and a local produce platter while overlooking the vineyards from their rooftop viewing deck. Then grab a take-home Grapes For Good bottle to do your part for wildlife conservation!

Fresh is right! Crack a bottle of Ashton Valley Fresh Juice and you’ll be sipping on sunshine — straight from their orchards to your lips. This premium fruit juice has no added flavours, colours, sugars or concentrates — just good, old-fashioned fruit juice. The best part? It’s sustainably made and 100% Australian! We’re big fans of their sparkling apple and pineapple juice.

Melba’s Chocolates

It’s hard to choose a favourite from this family-owned business. Known for their iconic Chocolate Bilbies, epic Christmas Hampers and their Giant Speckles… but we’re calling it: Melba’s makes the best Rocky Road in SA! Make a day trip up to their factory in Woodside, to enjoy a hot choccy with a side of choccy, while browsing all the other choccies. Or pay a visit to their new shop and dessert bar in Angaston. Um, hello heaven!

Lucia’s Fine Foods & Charcuterie Bar

It wouldn’t be a Friday in the office without Lauren asking, “Who’s ready for a panini?” And of course, she’s talking about Lucia’s Fine Foods in the Adelaide Central Market! It’s hard to pick a fave, but we’re big fans of the #1 (prosciutto with buffalo mozzarella, fresh tomato and fresh basil), the #5 (sopressa, Lucia’s olive paste, fresh basil and fresh tomato), or if you’re a tuna fan, the #4 (tuna, preserved lemon, aioli, fresh tomato and chilli) is also a winner. Whatever you choose, you really can’t go wrong!

A McLaren Vale dining experience not to be missed! Whether you’re celebrating a special occasion or want to make an occasion special, Vale Restaurant and Bar is the place to be. Their menu is filled with delectable bites, so we recommend booking the tasting menu and letting their chef feed you in a setting surrounded by vineyards. Start things off with their Vale IPA Country Loaf accompanied by Smoked Bone Marrow Butter. #NoRegrets.
