Went on Saturday 12th April and sayt at the counter nad bought 2 flights with matching cheeses and was blown away by both the quality and quantity of the cheese and the wine. The staff were incredibly friendly and helpful and the venue has a great ambience, would highly recommend

Stumbled on here searching for a wine tasting place in the city. They had a variety of flight selections that should serve everyone, all with cheese pairing available. We had the oysters + wine pairing first followed by a Trial by Fire flight and the Singles flight. All were way beyond our expectations, including the cheese pairing and cold cuts. The table next to us also bought some of the cold cuts in addition to the wine. They are generous with letting you taste the wines you’re interested in ordering, and have a wide range of high quality that should suit your needs. Most importantly the service staff made the whole experience memorable. We received the Thai member that ensured we had a 5 star experience but the others were also very pleasant. Would recommend anyone to come here to have a taste of some of the best Australia has to offer.

First visit. Recommended by a friend; took my mother who was visiting from UK. Absolutely superb. Venue is surgically clean and beautifully styled. Service is friendly, polite but not overbearing. Wine menu is vast, well curated and hilariously written. Food and food pairing is also excellent. Spent a couple of hours there and sampled two of their wine flights with a cheese pairing and honestly could have stayed and tried two more if we hadn’t got dinner booked. I will be defintely be returning soon and plan to purchase a number of the wines we sampled as gifts this Christmas. Just brilliant.

ATTENTION AUSSIE OYSTER & WINE LOVERS 🍷🦪❤️✨ Did you know you don’t have to drive to Wine Country for an amazing cellar door experience? You can visit a vibey urban cellar door in the heart of the city instead! Handpicked Wines is the perfect city destinations for wine lovers with locations in both the heart of Sydney and Melbourne 🍷 We visited the Sydney location recently for their oyster season special and enjoyed freshly shucked oysters paired with curated wine flights and a plate of 12 oysters. The oysters were so fresh and delicious and the paired wines were to die for 💭 Shout out to Andrew, our host, who was so welcoming and talked us through the wines and the flavour profiles. We tasted wines from the Mornington Peninsula, Yarra Valley, Barossa Valley and Tasmania. Important Info: 🦪 $80 Oyster flight of four garnished oysters to match four Wines 🚶 Handpicked Cellar Door Sydney is just a 10 mins stroll from Central station very near Spice Alley 🎄 This experience is only available from now until the end of the year 🍷 Both venues are open six days a week and offer a diverse array of wine flights to suit every palate, guided tastings, cheese flights, and charcuterie boards. The urban cellar door is just stunning and a perfect vibey location for a vino with friends, colleagues or loved ones! If you’re visiting Sydney or Melbourne and you want a winery experience but you’re short on time this is the perfect spot for you!

Booked here for a corporate wine tasting event. It was all beautifully set up when we arrived with 6 wines and 6 cheeses per person. The staff were so kind and helpful and allowed time for everyone to arrive. The wine tasting experience was so fun and yum! Would totally come back here for more such experiences.
