🎂🎈 Happy birthday to us! Today the National W**e Centre celebrates 25 years since our official opening on 6 October 2001.⁠
⁠
Our iconic South Australian building was designed by Cox Grieve Architects (Adelaide), in association with Sydney's Cox Richardson. As the first dedicated w**e centre in Australia, the National W**e Centre was envisioned as the flagship of the Australian w**e industry, housing an interactive exhibition, w**e industry offices, and a comprehensive range of w**e tasting and w**e education facilities. Since then, the Centre has grown to include a café and restaurant, art gallery spaces, and extensive function facilities.⁠
⁠
Over the past 25 years, so many of you have walked through our doors and made this place part of your own story. Maybe you started your w**e journey here, celebrated a graduation, or said "I do" in our function spaces. Whatever brought you to the National W**e Centre, we'd love to hear about it. Share your memories with us in the comments below!⁠
⁠
Here's to 25 years, and to many more to come. 🥂
