Melbourne's best bottle shops natural wine

Want to shop young wines from young labels, like Koerner and Switch? East End Cellars has them, and has probably hosted the makers at one of its weekly tastings. Want to splash on Henschke ‘Hill of Grace’, Bruno Rocca Barbaresco or Domaine de la Romanée-Conti? Having recently transformed from online wine store into this intimate little wine bar and bottle shop on Barkly Street,Bud of Loveis a place that feels like an extension of your living room.
The 1920s architecture of the Cavendish House building carries through to the interiors, delivered by Sydney design house ACME. Art deco flourishes, marble countertops, chandeliers and leather booths combine to create a nostalgic bistro look – a conscious nod towards the Lethbridge Pinot Gris 2021 clubby dining rooms of Chicago. And the good news is that Gimlet is open the entirety of the Easter long weekend. We wouldn't mind a few glazed goodies from the city's best doughnut shops either. Uncover new wines with a guided tasting, tailored to your preferences.

Chocolate is full of powerful antioxidants and helps the release of serotonin. Melbourne is home to several specialty chocolate shops that would make even Willy Wonka a little jealous. Many allow you to order online, so you can get your fix to enjoy at home. Lotte Duty Free offers a best in class Duty Free shopping experience to all travellers. An online pre-order service and collection at the airport is available via Laneway - Melbourne Airport's click and collect duty free service. City Wine Shop is popular with the theatre crowd who drop in for a pre-show tipple, and the staff are always on hand to run you through the extensive wine list.
The kitchen (which mainly cooks with what’s grown in the veggie patch) favours antipasti and pizzas, which you can enjoy inside or in the spacious garden. To drink, there’s a selection of sparkling, chardonnay, pinot noir, merlot, shiraz and cabernet sauvignon. What this winery lacks in size, it more than makes up for in character. Whether it’s the quaint, well-appointed guesthouses or the idiosyncratic pinot noirs and pinot gris (naturally fermented with wild yeast, then hand-macerated) a visit here is sure to stand out.
The store also claims one of the biggest selections of Bordeaux wines in Australia – not bad considering the modest-sized space. We have two stores in Brunswick East, and Melbourne CBD where all wines are on tasting for free, to help you pick your favourite drop. Or you can sit down for a pizza or cheese platter, and let our staff take you on a wine flight. You can buy bottles ready to take home, enjoy them, then bring them back where we will refill them in front of your eyes. A winery, restaurant and spa set in the undulating hills of West Gippsland.

A focused selection of natural wine, with same-day delivery if you live within 15 kilometres of the CBD. Casual wine bar and restaurant with an open-plan space and wood fire and grill. Enjoy Australian wines paired with native produce in a warm and inviting space at Myrtle Wine Bar. A newcomer to Warburton Lane, the two-storey space is beautifully rustic. And oh-so nostalgic chip shop potato cakes, elevated to gourmet status with salmon roe and cultured cream. You get the trifecta at Willows & Wine, a West Melbourne favourite.
As well as really good regular coffees, Overlay offers a selection of alternative sips, including coconut Americanos and cream  lattes. Then you'll want to make your way to Le Yeahllow, a cake store on Little Collins Street specialising in surrealist desserts that look just as incredible as they taste. Just in time for the festive season, the retailer has unveiled an exciting Christmas collection – now available at its new flagship CBD location along with other cult favourite treats.

We're big fans of try before you buy and Glou allows you to do just that.

Following its success, they transformed the online experience into a physical store in South Melbourne in June 2018. With slate green walls, a charcoal-grey communal table and warm lighting, it makes shopping for wine an almost calming experience. Many cheese lovers can agree that a cheeseboard is only complete with its counterpart – a bottle of wine.
