Explore Melbourne’s diverse neighbourhoods and elevate your wine experience by visiting these hotspots that pour All Saints Estate and St Leonards Vineyard wines. 


Blackhearts & Sparrows-379 Sydney Road, Brunswick

Melbourne's modern flair meets bold Asian fusion in a sleek and vibrant bayside setting at Chiki Chan.

Complementing the culinary experience, Chiki Chan offers an extensive yet affordable wine list, featuring Australian selections that pair beautifully with their share-style dishes.


Youngs Wine Rooms-227-229 Camberwell Rd, Hawthorn East

Set within a strikingly restored 1930s auction house, Young’s Wine Rooms in Hawthorn East is a refined homage to Mediterranean hospitality. Earthy textures, soft lighting, and a leafy courtyard set the tone for a dining experience of laidback old-world charm. The menu draws inspiration from across the Mediterranean, offering dishes with subtle flair - from harissa-spiced octopus to house-made pasta - each thoughtfully paired with a dynamic, globally-minded wine list.
