Australia's Fine Wine Specialist

At this beloved Melbourne bottle shop, small producers are the focus of a 300-strong bottle curation that reflects places and regions, rather than processes and technique. A solid crop of craft beers and boutique spirits is also on offer. Meanwhile, the onsite bar invites you to sit in and sample selections, either from the rotation of twenty wines by the glass or the beer taps. Carwyn Cellars boasts around 10 fridges full of it, along with hundreds of wines arranged from lighter to bolder, a golden selection of American whiskey and lots of other boozy delights. Carwyn doesn't dabble in big breweries, so its shelves are reserved for top-notch local crafties, hot releases and international gems. Try a tropical sour from Bridge Road Brewers, nab the latest limited-batch creation from Hop Nation, or jet your tastebuds overseas with a big bottle of Westmalle's famed Tripel.
Punch Lane’s downstairs sibling Juliet has a bunch of cool stuff going on — including the fact that its modus operandi is to support and represent female winemakers, distillers and cheese producers. For a dose of girl power and, really, just a great night with nice vibes, head down to the basement bar on Little Bourke Street — it’s all pink neon, concrete and hand-blown glass cellars down here. The Hampton Wine Co. bar is also a boutique bottle shop, so if you don’t finish whatever wine you order from the menu, you can just take it home with you for a nightcap at yours. These tastings will allow guests to taste the featured wines and immerse themselves in an educational experience where they can expand their knowledge on the exciting world of wine.

Though the Dominique Portet winery was only founded in 2000, it's the project of a ninth-generation winemaker from Bordeaux. The Dominique Portet winery in the rolling hills of Yarra Valley offers a cellar door open daily, and the restaurant serves country-style lunches ideal for a post-wine tasting meal. Taste the Fontaine rosé, one that’s an exceptional berry-driven summery blend of merlot, shiraz and cabernet sauvignon, and a steal at $26 a bottle. There is a large cellar door and tasting room inside Helen and Joey Estate, but if the weather is good, the best seats in the house are outside on the terrace, overlooking the vines and gently rolling hills.

We offer an extensive list of local and international drops in a relaxed, cosy setting.
With wooden storage units and a classy top cover, this modular wine rack is ideal for rooms with a contemporary feel.

Trend-bucking small-scale producers get plenty of airtime  at one of the best wine bars in Melbourne as well, though quality reigns supreme throughout. For an out of this world wine bar experience, make your way over to Collingwood for The Moon. Tucked along Stanley Street, here you’ll find over 300 wines on their ever-changing bottle list as well as a rotating selection of 20 tipples available by the glass.

The interiors of traditional wine cellars are predominantly crafted from timber, offering a stunning visual appeal. The natural beauty of timber provides a calming effect, it is beautiful and versatile making it functional. Timber offers a classic look that provides the warmth richness that goes well with traditional cellar design styles. The use of timber in wine cellars dates to ancient times, the earliest known timber wine cellars were built by the Egyptians in the 4th century BC. These cellars were made from cedar, and they were designed to keep wine cool and humid. Building a wine cellar is a straightforward process with the project management, design and cellar construction undertaken by Red Wine Cellars.
