What do wine, coffee and Aussie’s favourite home cook have in common? The latest partnership from Hudsons Coffee parent, Emirates Leisure Retail (ELR), unites the hospitality group with Penfolds and Maggie Beer in two new retail and dining precincts within Adelaide’s domestic and international terminal.

Just announced, the two concepts are designed to showcase South Australia’s premium food and wine experiences, and will combine eat-in and merchandise opportunities.

Adelaide Airport is fulfilling its vision of delivering world-class retail for its burgeoning number of international travellers, said MD Mark Young.

“The past financial year we welcomed more than 8.5 million travellers, and that number is expected to rise to almost 20 million by 2039.

“Our retail vision is to create a best in class retail experience to surprise, delight and entertain all
airport users. We are excited to attract iconic South Australian brands the calibre of Penfolds and
Maggie Beer, which will have pride of place in the newly expanded terminal.”
