Corkage in Australia

Traveling in Australai in a few weeks. The main stops are Sydney, Adelaide (south Australian wine country) and Port Douglas, Queensland. I’ve already been told taht corkage is not a
thing in Sydney. I’m wandering if is in wine country. Adelaide is the center for Narossa Valley, McClaren Vale, etc. Do restaurants there have a corkage policy?

Sydney is far from the best place for BYO, but it’s not unheard of. The Charles has a serious wine program but still offers BYO on Mondays, as an example. I’ve seen many Asian restaurants that offer BYO, as well.

Hi Mark,

There are plenty of places in the Barossa that allow byo. Vintners, Otherness, The Eatery, Char, fermentAsian (not on Friday or Saturday nights though) and Home of the Brave to name a few. In Adelaide there is a new Italian place called Mensa that is excellent and they accept byo. Wah Hing is our go to for Chinese and they are happy with byo too.

cheers

Thanks. I already have some of those Barossa restaurants on my go to list.
