Adelaide’s East End has welcomed a refined new addition with the recent opening of Septimus House of Cheese & Wine on Grenfell Street. This elegant venue promises to elevate the city’s dining and social scene with its expert focus on curated cheese and wine pairings.
Blending contemporary style with timeless charm, Septimus invites guests into a space of lilac walls, Tasmanian oak floors, green marble benchtops, and delicate French curtains beneath original stained glass windows. The warm yet sophisticated atmosphere mirrors Adelaide’s evolving entertainment culture, enhanced by art exhibitions like those of local artist Donovan Christie and an eclectic vinyl collection that adds creativity and connection.
At its heart, Septimus offers a signature experience; a seven-cheese and wine pairing featuring French cheeses alongside a thoughtfully selected wine list showcasing both French vintages and South Australian vineyards.
With seating for up to 50 guests across two levels in a beautifully restored building near the historic Adelaide Fruit and Produce Exchange, Septimus founder Ian Coker describes the venue as a celebration of culture, passion, and community, uniting local and international wines under one stylish roof.
“This dream has been 10 years in the making,” says Ian. “Septimus is equal parts sophisticated and welcoming. Whether you’re dropping by for a quick drink or settling in for a full tasting experience, we look forward to sharing it with the Adelaide community.”
For those seeking a cultured and convivial new spot in the city, Septimus House of Cheese & Wine is definitely worth a visit.
