Bottle Shock, located in Gumeracha in the Adelaide Hills, is a new venture from the team behind Unico Zelo, Applewood Distillery, and the popular ‘Bottle Shock’ YouTube channel. It transforms the often-intimidating world of wine tasting into a fun, engaging, and educational experience centred around gamified blind tasting flights. It’s designed to be a welcoming space for everyone, from the curious novice to the seasoned enthusiast, celebrating wine without brand bias.
2026 Best Of Wine Tourism Award winner for Innovative Wine Tourism Experiences and Sustainable Wine Tourism Practices for Adelaide, South Australia: “Bottle Shock was recognised for their passionate leadership and dedication to continual innovation, reflected through the evolution of their impressive digital presence into an inviting physical space that draws people in by making wine tasting inclusive and fun.
