About Lush
Originally a local-darling of a wine shop started 20 years ago, Lush has since evolved into a tasting room/wine bar/bistro with three locations and a dedicated following of passionate partakers. The Roscoe Village wine retail room is a veritable theme park of bottles of all levels, price points, and rarity (all of which are drinkable on-site with a minor corkage fee), and the large bar area and pretty patio offer guests a great spot to sit and wax poetic about the world of wine.
The menu offers a wide range of fairly classic (but great quality) glass pours, with an open array of flight options for those looking to explore and learn. There are many fresh, seasonal cocktail options (with an emphasis on wine-based cocktails), and a fairly standard bistro menu with an excellent offering of cheeses and cured meats.
For a spot to lounge around with a few friends, wandering from Condrieu to Fleurieu (with a break for Sangria en route), Lush Wine can’t be beat. Note: there are three locations, but the Roscoe Village option is the favorite.
