About us

Nestled in the heart of Albert Park Village, Village Wine Bar is a warm and welcoming, local neighbourhood favourite. The expansive wine list showcases the great regions of Italy, France and beyond. Inspired by the relaxed charm of a European wine bar, guests can settle in by the crackling wood fire, enjoy a glass on the terrace, and enjoy seasonal dishes designed for sharing.

As part of the Reymond Group family, Village Wine Bar is joined by L'Hotel Gitan in Prahran, Bistro Gitan in South Yarra and Frederic in Cremorne, in the Group portfolio.
