Serious about wine and not much else. We're a casual wine bar offering up craft Australian wine from innovative Aussie farmers.

At Northside Wines we focus on amazing alternative grape varietals grown here in Australia. Whilst the wider market is heavily saturated by the noble varietals, these grapes are not always suited to the Australian climate leading to extensive irrigation and maintenance. By growing vines which are better suited to their environment, wine is produced sustainably and a true reflection of the land from which it came.

Our gorgeous large venue is available for hire in full or part capacity. We have a range of food and beverage packages to suit your special occasion.

Great introductory class to wine.
Our teacher was knowledgeable and affable.

What a great way to spend a rainy afternoon. Very imformative tasting with amazing wines. Highly recommend this class. We ran through 4 whites and 4 reds sampling some rare hard to get wines. You could also purchase a tasting plate to go with your wines.

We had a great time, our host Jacob was really knowledgeable on wines and happy to answer all questions. Good class for beginners or experienced wine drinkers. Get the snack upgrade, delicious.

The instructor was amazing! Talked us through all the different wines of Australia and how they're made - what flavours you can pick up like butter or oak and the techniques used to make those scents/tastes. I loved it, we tasted 8 wines of 4 white and 4 red. As a wine noob and my mum who is a lowkey wine expert, I definitely recommend it for everyone and all ages (over 18 ofc).

Jacob was professional and the class was informative. Even though it was our first ever masterclass, we felt like we learnt a lot and build a decent foundation about wines.

My partner and I had a great time in the Wine Masterclass. Jacob was very cordial and shared a lot of useful information. The set up and wines supplied for tasting were great as well. Would highly recommend as a fun activity over the weekend.
