National Wine Centre of Australia
Directly opposite the Botanic Gardens (see Further Distractions), the National Wine Centre of Australia is worth checking out for the architecture alone. The modern building is home to an award-winning interactive exhibition, Wine Discovery Journey, a state-of-the-art Australian wine industry showcase which examines everything from winemaking to the role of wine in history, and even matching food and wine. The centre is also home to the National Wine Education and Training Centre, which runs various wine appreciation courses, and there is a café on site offering fine Australian wines to taste and/or purchase.
