Provence rose and retro DJ mixers are guiding restaurant Station Road’s new Friday offering, allowing for a relaxed vibe to start the weekend in style.

Adelaide’s hottest new venue, located at Festival Plaza, welcomes _Apero Time with Whispering Angel and Condesa_ from Friday, 10th of January 2025. Inspired by all things European and chic, these Friday knockoffs will elevate the city’s alfresco scene to new heights.

“With a top-notch cocktail offering and snacks menu we look forward to welcoming guests solely looking to enjoy a couple of drinks after work or prior to their dinner plans” says Mathieu Smeysters, Station Road Co-owner.

Station Road’s extensive wine list is available during _Apero Time with Whispering Angel and Condesa_ from 3pm to 6pm, but there will be a focus on Whispering Angel’s rose from France’s Provence region. For $16/glass or $70/bottle, the premium drop offers a full profile – bone-dry with a smooth finish.

Already Station Road has gained a solid reputation for its unwavering commitment to showcasing a range of global wine varietals. Those on offer range from the traditional to the obscure, where Station Road uses a Coravin system so diners can try hard-to-find wines without the need to purchase an entire bottle.

The cocktail menu, curated by Bar Manager Saskia Lopes De Souza, ranges from classic concoctions like margaritas and the Sazerac (featuring absinthe wash), to house specialties. Give Me Clarity is Station Road’s take on the Bloody Mary, a clarified mix of vodka, tomato, celery, umami and citrus. Sitting at the Station is their tribute to Adelaide Railway Station next door, featuring Los Arcos Blanca tequila, passionfruit, crème de Cassis, lime and ginger ale.

Accompanying drinks is a carefully curated snacks menu, which features a mushroom and gruyere tart with pickled jalapeno, duck liver parfait with almond and sauternes, and a slow cooked hen’s egg with Leatherwood honey and smoked cream.

Relaxed, casual beats for _Apero Time with Whispering Angel and Condesa_ will be produced by an everchanging list of local DJ’s, on hand to create a Euro-inspired mood as merrymakers indulge. The DJ will use of a Condesa audio mixer, used by DJs globally and created by South Australian Mehdi El-Aquil since 2012. The mixers all feature Australian-sourced wood, either using Australian Blackwood or Tasmanian Oak. They are highly regarded for providing a full, rich sound to music and known for their ergonomical layout.

Apero Time with Whispering Angel and Condesa launches Friday, 10th of January 2025 at 3pm, at Station Road.
