Burnside Village Welcomes Poh Ling Yeow and Nick Ryan as 2026 Ambassadors

May 12, 2026

Burnside Village is proud to announce an exciting new partnership with two of South Australia’s most celebrated personalities – appointing acclaimed chef, artist and television personality Poh Ling Yeow and respected wine writer Nick Ryan as its official 2026 Brand Ambassadors. 

“We are incredibly proud to welcome Poh and Nick to the Burnside Village family,” says Burnside Village Centre General Manager, Jodie Kannane. “Their shared passion, expertise and respect for South Australian produce align with our vision to continuously elevate the Burnside Village experience.”

This collaboration marks a new chapter for Burnside Village, bringing together exceptional local talent to deliver an authentic and premium food, wine and lifestyle experience in the Village.

Poh Ling Yeow stated, “Burnside Village has been SA’s premium retail destination for as long as I can remember.  I’m incredibly excited to be an ambassador for this spectacularly renovated space, offering shoppers a truly world class experience. I can’t wait to share our upcoming collaborations in both food and fashion.”

Poh Ling Yeow will play an active role in curating a series of unique culinary experiences. Known for her creativity, warmth and uniqueness, Poh will bring her unmistakable flair to Burnside Village – celebrating the incredible retail produce while inspiring both seasoned cooks and a new generation of food enthusiasts.

The partnership will launch with the Tasting Australia event  Poh’s Table: A Taste of South East Asia  on Saturday, 16 May at Burnside Village. This long lunch is inspired by the vibrant flavours of South East Asia, featuring an immersive menu in Poh’s signature style with matched wines selected by Nick.

Nick Ryan says: “No city on earth is blessed by an abundance of world class vineyard surrounding it quite like Adelaide. It makes perfect sense the city’s finest shopping destination celebrates that unique connection. The qualities that make our wines so special – provenance, respect for tradition entwined with a flair for forward thinking and an unwavering commitment to quality – have always defined Burnside Village too. Great wine at Burnside Village really is a perfect pairing.”

Nick Ryan will complement this vision by showcasing Burnside Village’s premium wine and gourmet food offering through his extensive knowledge and refined palate. Customers can look forward to events and educational masterclasses that will be designed to expand customers’ appreciation of South Australia’s world class food and wine culture.

This partnership underscores the ongoing evolution of Burnside Village beyond a shopping destination, a vibrant lifestyle precinct and hub for food and wine enthusiasts.
