Hybrid COOK/FOH team member

About us

Toorak Cellars is equal parts bottle shop and wine bar. We serve a constantly changing twenty wines by-the-glass, or customers can open any bottle straight off the shelf. 

We believe strongly in the idea that wine should taste like fruit and minerals instead of oak and alcohol. The wines we serve reflect with great clarity, the soil from which they were grown, the the four seasons that passed through that vineyard during a specific vintage. 

Part of the Diggin’ In The Cellars group, we value good wine, good food and good people. We believe knowledge is best shared and foster a culture where a desire to learn from our peers, our producers and beyond is inherent throughout.
