Toorak Cellars is equal parts bottle shop and wine bar, located just opposite Toorak station on Beatty Avenue in Armadale. Our aim is simple: to source, acquire and serve the best wines we can find at any given price point, from Australia and around the world.We believe strongly in the idea that wine should taste like fruit and minerals instead of oak and alcohol. The wines we serve should reflect with great clarity the soil from which they were grown, and the four seasons that passed through that vineyard during a specific vintage.We serve a constantly changing twenty wines by-the-glass, or you can open any bottle straight off the shelf. We don't have a kitchen, but if you're hungry we do have some creative ways of feeding you.Great wine is for everyone, and everyone is welcome. See you soon at the Cellars!

Another great meal at La Perla. These guys do pizza better than any I've tasted in Melbourne, their pickles are home-made and very tasty and their chicken-liver pate is exceptional. This place is an absolute neighborhood gem.

Top quality wine bar in a magical Melbourne village. One of the best cocktails I’ve ever had. The Lennox team were very busy as it was Valentine’s Day but was very impressed with this wine bar.

Beth & Sam and all the staff at Milk & Wine make every meal there an enjoyable experience. They are wonderful hosts; Friday night wine bar - especially theme nights - are great fun and the perfect way to end the working week. The menu has great range, and there is a huge amount of thought that goes into what they are serving, where it is sourced and how it is paired with just the right local wine. We love Milk & Wine
