Unico Zelo Wine Rave at Island Radio

Overview

Now settled into Wunderlich Lane, Island Radio has gone about impressing those from Surry Hills and beyond with its hawker-inspired cuisine paired with a dazzling tropical fit-out. Yet this vibey spot is turning up the volume dial even further, hosting the Unico Zelo Wine Rave from 5pm on Thursday, October 23.

Bringing together natty wine, bold flavours and high-energy chaos, this one-night-only experience features an eight-dish set menu riffing on Southeast Asian–inspired cuisine, with dishes including raw salmon with red curry dressing, and charred turmeric-brined chicken with coconut sambal. Meanwhile, a suitably tasty Unico Zelo wine pairs with each dish.

Born in the Adelaide Hills back in 2012, Unico Zelo is renowned for its playful, sustainable wines crafted from drought-resistant grapes. On the night, diehard wine-nerd and brand ambassador Noah Ward will be in the house, leading this multi-course dinner and playing a pivotal role in the chaotic accoutrements on the agenda.

That includes DJs spinning tunes from behind the decks, wine-fuelled jelly shots on arrival and even spin the bottle. Don't worry, there's only prizes up for grabs, like bottles of Unico Zelo, exclusive merch and food and drink vouches. Conceived as a dinner party meets dance floor fun, this rave-like wine night is set to defy all expectations.
