Restaurant
•Northside Wines is a spacious, multifaceted venue located in the inner north of Melbourne, conveniently accessible from the CBD, parking areas, and public transport. Our primary focus is on alternative wines and honest, delicious food, but we also know how to throw an incredible party.
Our interior space is ideal for a variety of occasions and events. Skylights scattered throughout the plant-filled area provide natural light during the day, creating the perfect ambiance for daytime gatherings. At night, with dimmed lights and flickering candles, the venue takes on an intimate feel despite its size. The entire space is adaptable; even though we can accommodate a large number of guests, you are not obligated to reserve the full or even half of the venue (unless you wish to). We will simply tailor the space to fit the size of your event.
Our venue is suitable for large canapé functions, as well as spacious sit-down dinners or convention-style events. We also offer two bright outdoor areas. Our courtyard/wine garden is a secluded, uncovered spot that can host up to 40 guests for private events with canapés and casual nibbles, complete with a separate sound system that connects to your phone or laptop. The courtyard is fully covered now, with plenty of heaters for cooler evenings. During the day, the sun shines overhead, while the garden remains partially shaded. After sunset, fairy lights overhead create the illusion of a starlit sky.
Next door, we have a stunning outdoor private space—a beautiful covered secret garden with flexible seating (available only during warmer months). A large fig tree provides ambient shade in the afternoon, keeping the garden cool. At night, festoon lights add a picturesque touch to your event. This setting is perfect for groups with children, allowing you to relax while they play without concerns. The space is shielded from direct sunlight, making it ideal for daytime events like baby showers and hens parties, while the enchanting festoon lighting lends a magical atmosphere throughout the evening.
With a variety of beautiful spaces available, whether you need an intimate setting for a long-overdue catch-up with friends or a formal function for over 100 guests, we can collaborate with you to create the perfect experience. Exclusive venue hire is also available!






Had such a lovely night at Northside Wines — honestly the vibe here is so cozy and welcoming. It feels like the perfect spot for a relaxed dinner, a cute date, or a wine night with your bestie. We did their course meal with wine pairing, and everything came together so well. Each dish was fresh, flavourful and honestly bigger portions than I expected. The wine pairing was my favourite part — every glass actually matched the food, and you can tell they know what they’re doing with their wine list. The space is really pretty too: warm lighting, lots of greenery, and a super chill atmosphere. The staff were friendly, attentive and really knowledgeable about the wines, which made the whole experience even better. Overall, such a good spot if you want good food, good wine, and a nice night out without anything too fancy or intimidating. I’d 100% come back again. 💗🍷✨
I’ve been to Northside Wines a few times over the years but my most recent visit to try the bottomless festive menu really impressed. There was a wide variety of dishes and what we had was super tasty, especially the heirloom stack, whipped feta, and house made focaccia. It’s a great value option and loved that it also catered to all dietaries so really good for groups with different requirements. I enjoyed it so much I’ve already made another booking with a larger group of friends and my original plus one has now booked Northside for her family Christmas lunch too. Service was friendly and attentive and the vibe inside is very welcoming. It’s a great spot for group catchups that feel a bit elevated but still relaxed and affordable and would definitely recommend getting the festive menu option if you have the opportunity.
I can’t rave about their Christmas bottomless sides menu enough, like speechless. The food was incredible and they really know what wines pair best. Highly recommend checking it out, I know a lot of people who have loved dining here as well! 😍💖
NORTHSIDE WINES, NORTHCOTE When I say perfect, I mean PERFECT. From the kind of impeccable service that makes you feel instantly welcome... to food that genuinely had us silent at the table because every bite was that good. And just in time for the silly season, they've launched the $49pp Bottomless Small Plates Festive Menu - and honestly, it's the pre-Christmas treat you didn't know you needed. Unwrap a present or two, clink your glasses, share plates & savour the moments, with that cosy Northside buzz that makes everything feel extra special. Gather your friends, your work crew, or your favourite festive troublemakers — this is the spot to celebrate. Book it before it books out. Your December plans just upgraded. "More visuals from this experience, including a short video, can be found on my Instagram @retiredfromthekitchen."
An awesome spot for some delicious dishes and wine. They have a new bottomless small festive plates menu for $49 per person, which I tried. You get to pick any dishes, out of the small plates section. I tried a few dishes and my favourite was definitely the heirloom tomato stack. It was super fresh and bright, and also perfect for anyone who is vegetarian too. It was a simple dish with a stack of heirloom tomatoes, boccocini, salsa and basil oil. The basil oil was so good and was a highlight of the dish. You can also do wine pairings and the staff can recommend a wine to go with your meal. They’re so knowledgeable and provided so much information about the wine, I tried the Gewurztraminer which was so fresh and fruity!
