How often do you get to the end of the working week, and then realise that you haven't had time to plan your weekend ? Perhaps you just need an hour or two of quiet time for contemplation, maybe with a few friends, in order to work through everyone's calendar and work out what may be possible. Well if this is the case, then the National Wine Centre has the venue for you.



Every second Friday evening from 430pm the National Wine Centre throws open its doors to the general public to come in and enjoyed a relaxed end-of-week environment where plans can be made over a glass of wine, a plate of food and some soft but live music. Called Uncorked, these evenings are perfect for everyone from those with a keen interest in wine to people who want to learn a little more or those that just want to get themselves in to weekend relaxation mode.



During the evening people are invited to enjoy wines from the featured winery in a fun and interactive atmosphere by the glass, bottle or tasting flight. You can either make your way through the wines on each night's list and try something new or perhaps just purchase a tasting flight, which includes a sample of wines. Either way, you have the opportunity to sample wines from every price point, including cellar door only and the newest releases.



The chosen wineries for the next six months of Uncorked events feature wineries from most parts of South Australia, as well as a couple of interstate wines. The calendar includes :

22nd January - The Lane Vineyard, Adelaide Hills
5th February - House of Arras, Tasmania
19th February - Sidewood Estate, Adelaide Hillls
4th March - Wirra Wirra, McLaren Vale
18th March - Tahbilk Wines, Victoria
1st April - Mr Riggs Wines, McLaren Vale
15th April - Hither & Yon Wines, McLaren Vale
29th April - Head Wines, Barossa Valley
13th May - Tidwells Wines, Limestone Coast
27th May - Chaffey Brothers Wine Co., Eden Valley
10th June - Artisans of Barossa, Barossa Valley
24th June - Jim Barry, Clare Valley



Complementing the wine are some delicate nibbles or pre-dinner dishes such as freshly made pizzas, homemade dips, South Australian cheeses or gourmet tapas. Click here for the Uncorked Menu . Alternatively, and often resulting in behaviours akin to seagulls, complimentary cheese platters and cocktail food plates are also provided to guests. But be quick.



And did I mention the music and the convivial atmosphere. Live acoustic music not only provides the perfect atmosphere for a relaxing Friday night drinks but also gives a young musician or group an opportunity to strut their stuff in front of a crowd who is torn between drinking great wines, eating great food, listening to the music or contemplating their weekend ahead.



For those who are after a more structured experience there is the opportunity to book in to a 'Meet the Maker' master class. The classes feature a winemaker, normally from the winery of the night, who will explain the structures and complexities associated with the wines that are being drunk this evening. Held in conjunction to Uncorked from 5pm - 6pm for $25 tickets to this portion of the evening are extremely limited and bookings are essential on 8313 3355 or online .



There is no need to book for Uncorked and there is no entrance fee, so just turn up whenever you can sneak out the back door from work, and grab yourself some friends, a wine or two, and start planning your weekend.
