A meeting of fine drink-producing minds, Lot 100 serves a huge range of local drops, from brews to pre-batched cocktails, alongside skilful cooking, making it a one-stop pleasure shop.
Lot 100 is beautiful. Mostly because it’s many things. Think of it as a collective of clinking glasses. This game-changing Adelaide Hills venue came together through a meeting of minds when the founders of Adelaide Hills Distillery, Mismatch Brewing, Vinteloper winery, Ashton Valley Fresh and the Hills Cider Company combined forces to create a unique one-stop pleasure shop in the beautiful Adelaide Hills.
With liquid refreshment well and truly sorted, the focus shifted to food, and all agreed that Lot 100 needed a kitchen that could match the quality of what was being poured. That goal has been well and truly achieved. Lot 100 delivers on the “regionality welded to seasonality” brief, showcasing the best of local produce in endlessly inventive, always satisfying ways.
Driving up to Lot 100 in the beautiful Hay Valley, out the back of the Adelaide Hills, is a kind of pleasure-seeker’s pilgrimage, a journey towards a temple of temporal delights. Visitors get up close and personal with some of the smartest operators in the South Australian drinks scene, exploring their wares in the place they’re produced.
The venue was designed specifically to bring visitors close to the production of the drinks they’re enjoying, to showcase the natural environment of many of the raw materials that go towards making them, and to celebrate the role great drinks can play alongside equally great food.
Sitting beneath the vast pitched roof of Lot 100 on a perfect Adelaide Hills day, with a cocktail or a cold beer, a pinot noir or pear juice, a pizza or abundant salad from the kitchen garden, is a pleasure everyone needs to enjoy at least once.
The indecisive drinker might see a challenge in walking up to a bar with 40 taps, but the smart one sees an opportunity. From those taps pour a huge range of Mismatch beers, a dozen different ciders from Hills Cider Company and even several pre-batched cocktails. And that’s just scratching the surface.
Individual tasting flights are offered by each of Lot 100’s producers, so even the most disparate group can find something to please just about everyone. The biggest problem is trying to fit it all in.
