City Connect Returns with Strong Business Lunch at Gauchos

Adelaide City FC officially launched the 2026 City Connect Business series with a successful Business Lunch held at Gauchos Argentinian Restaurant, proudly supported by Zerella Wines.

Bringing together around 70 guests, the event marked a strong return for City Connect, creating a room built on connection, conversation and genuine business opportunity across the Club’s growing network.

Guests heard from a range of speakers throughout the afternoon, including Jim Zerella from Zerella Wines, as well as John Galluccio and Justin Cucchiarelli from Studio Nine Architects. Studio Nine presented the vision and final designs for the new junior clubrooms. Additional speakers from the Club also contributed across the afternoon.

The event also delivered on its core purpose, bringing the Adelaide City business network together in a meaningful way, with strong engagement across the room and plenty of conversations continuing well beyond the formalities.

A highlight of the afternoon was the business card draw, with thanks to our generous supporters:

• Zerella Wines — Charlie Zollo (Pacific Real Estate) and Tony Scalzi (Regency Timber)

• Peter Shearer — Carlo Talladira (TMK Engineering)

• Chemist Warehouse — Matthew Bolzon

Adelaide City FC would like to thank Zerella Wines for their support of the event, as well as all guests who attended and contributed to a strong start for the 2026 City Connect series.
