24.01.2022 Underwater Ceramic Engineers. It’s a Fancy Pants Name For Dishwashers. The job is washing dishes, LOTS OF DISHES. Then whilst your trying to wash plates a chef may ask for a pan, then someone needs a clean tub, you get the picture. It’s busy!... So many dishes and we need someone who is fit, hardworking, reliable and punctual. Our kitchen hands also help us with scrubbing floors, cool rooms, benches and basic food prep. We have shifts available weekdays and weekends 1pm - 6:30pm. Ideally we will employ two people and share the days to allow flexibility. Please only apply if you are fit and healthy and able to work the 5 hour shifts with enthusiasm. Email your resume to [email protected]

23.01.2022 It’s a Gin thing! Visit McLaren Vale for a Gin Tasting with us or one of the great distilleries based here.

23.01.2022 Salopian Inn is closed today for maintenance. We will reopen tomorrow with our regular hours - 7 days a week for lunch & Thursday - Saturday for dinner.

21.01.2022 Bobar / Cabaret / Yarra Valley If you head down into our cellar you’ll find this pretty, bright wine in our Chef & Somm selection. This lighter style cabernet from Bobar Wines is made from handpicked grapes, a natural wine with low intervention. Given its name, perhaps this is perfect drink to toast the closing of Adelaide Cabaret Festival for another year. Speaking of closing, Salopian Inn will be closed this Monday & Tuesday for maintenance. ... #cabaret #cabernet #wine #cellar #australianwine #lifeisacabaret #southaustralia #mclarenvale #salopian #salopianinn #karenaarmstrong #gininnings

21.01.2022 Don’t forget to vote in the Young Gun of Wine Wineslinger 2020 People’s Choice Award as every vote equals a $1 donation to @tipjarfund And you could win a year’s worth of wine too! Voting closes in just over a week. Click here to vote - https://salopian.com.au/wineslingers-australia-top-50/ #repost @younggunofwine... The Salopian Inn is about as iconic as a regional restaurant gets, setting the tone for McLaren Vale dining for decades. The place is a mecca for wine and gin lovers, and is in our Wineslinger Top 50 for 2020. Please meet Alex Marchetti, who as a co-owner Salopian Inn wears the tags Innkeeper and Gin Slinger, and manages the front of house operations. Q. What excites you most about Australian wine right now? A. The transformation throughout Australian regions looking at different ways to make the classic varieties and matching varieties to suit the climates and environments. Q. And which wine or producer best reflects this for you? A. @aphelionwine's new take on McLaren Vale grenache, @beachroadwines and @linoramble producing Mediterranean varieties that suit our current climate. @koernerwine from the Clare Valley for producing Sciacarello & other new varieties, and their new take on the classics. Timo Mayer from the Yarra Valley for turning pinot noir and cabernet on their heads. Dr Edge (@pjdredge) from Tasmania has outstanding examples of new chardonnay, pinot noir & riesling. Q. If someone comes to your venue and they can only order one dish, what should it be? A. Many guests enjoy any of our plant based dishes. Karena’s use of the organic produce from our Salopian Kitchen Garden and from the abundant Fleurieu Peninsula producers is always an inspiration. Q. Are there any wine and food matching principles that you stick to? A. Drink what you feel like drinking. Eat what you feel like eating. Throw out all the old rules and explore flavours to suit your own palate. Q. What food and wine combination should everyone try? A. @samuels_gorge Mourvedre with our Grass Fed Beef Steak Q. It seems that cork is making a comeback. What’s your preference and why? A. My preference is for pristine wine, no matter which closure is used. However there is nothing like the theatre of pulling the cork on an old bottle of wine. Q. What's on the music playlist at your venue? A. Dean Martin to 90’s hip- hop to Rammstein all depends on who arrives at the restaurant first. Music is just like wine... whatever suits the mood.

18.01.2022 Potato & Cheddar Dumplings / Mustard Greens / Radish / Shiitake Broth / Onion Oil This dish makes you want to curl up by the fire with the light & fluffy dumplings on a cold winter’s night.

14.01.2022 Garden Joy It’s not just about the fresh produce that is delivered to our guests on their plates. It’s from the first moment the seed is planted by Maddie our Head Gardner, how it is nurtured & cared for as it grows. It’s the discussions Maddie & Chef Karena Armstrong have about what is blooming in the Salopian Kitchen Garden & when it will be ready to work into the menu. It’s the minutes, yes minutes that it takes from harvesting the produce to it being delivered to the kitc...hen. The conversations between the Salopian team about the current seasonal produce & how it will be prepared & shared with our guests. The Salopian Kitchen Garden is the heart & soul of our business. And it’s worth celebrating. #fresh #local #seasonalproduce #gardening #heartandsoul #jumpforjoy #gardentotable #eatyourgreens #salopian #salopianinn #mclarenvale #karenaarmstrong #gininnings Heidi Who Photos
