Melbourne Cellar Door
25 Dukes Walk, South Wharf VIC, Australia
Melbourne Cellar Door is the favourite destination for wine and craft beer lovers to go to in Melbourne’s South Wharf precinct. Over 500 bottles of wine on offer and more than 60 wines by the glass (rotated frequently).
Mark Pendreich, co-owner & head sommelier handpicks the wines on offer and along with his brother Tony, established The Valley Cellar Door in Moonee Ponds in 2005 and both are very hands on in running the two venues. All wines are sourced from small, independent, family-owned producers. Strong relationships built over time allow MCD to source museum releases, back vintages, and small parcel bottling.
Beer lovers are also well catered for at MCD. As South Wharf’s only dedicated craft beer venue there are 8 rotating taps and over 130 craft beers in the fridge. Sour, Gose, Lager, Pilsner, Golden, Wheat, Pale Ale, IPA, Red, Amber, Brown, Porter, Stout, Imperial Stout are all represented! The menu is light and designed for ‘sharing & grazing’, focused on artisan cheeses, funky cured meats, pizzas & pasta. Whether your sitting amongst the walls lined with wine or on the chesterfield lounges, a great time is sure to be had!
