Meet Rhys, the Founder & Creative Principal of The Company You Keep. Explore his favorite spots for sipping wine in Melbourne's lively inner north.

Melbourne

"City Wine Shop is in Spring Street, in the city. It's great for people-watching — you sit on the street and watch people coming and going in the Theater District. It's been there for years, and they have a big selection. It's a great spot to have a nice glass of something."

"In Collingwood Yards, there's a restaurant and bar (and radio station) called Hope Street Radio. It's a great spot to sit outside and listen to whoever is playing and have a nice glass of wine. It’s a little hidden gem, you don't really see it from the street."

Hope St Radio

"Napier Quarter is a little bluestone building with ten tables or so. It has such an excellent selection and curation of wine. And you can go there and don't have to think — they'll feed you the most amazing things and wine. So it's great when you want to turn your brain off and be looked after."

"Moon Wine Bar is a dimly-lit kind of wine cave and has some of the nicest staff you'll ever meet. They've got a huge selection, and you can open a bottle there and take the rest home."

The Moon

"Gerald's Wine Bar on Rathdowne Street has been there for a long time. It's this feeling like you're in someone's home. It feels really organic and casual, and it's a heavyweight of the Melbourne hospitality scene and a must."
