MELBOURNE AND SURROUNDS – Malvern Road Wine & Beer House

This boutique bottleshop in Malvern East is the passion project of Antony, who’s been immersed in the liquor industry since 1999 and worked at some of Australia’s leading 5-star Halliday-rated wineries. We’re thrilled that his expert eye has selected six of our wines for his carefully curated collection: Angels Peak Shiraz, Wanderlust Cabernet Sauvignon, Ambriels Gift Cabernet Sauvignon, Lucy & Alice Pinot Gris, Guardian Angel Sparkling Chardonnay, and Cape Banks Pinot Noir.

What sets this place apart is Antony’s commitment to delivering Australia’s smaller, boutique wineries direct to customers, sharing his wealth of industry knowledge through a personal shopping experience. It’s exactly the kind of independent, knowledgeable retailer we love partnering with – someone who understands that behind every bottle is a story worth telling.
