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!

We had a lovely table for 3 (the only other option was outside) & my other 2 guests were elderly. They did manage the daunting stairs & the lunch was perfect 👌🏻. Kirsten, Marco, Francesco & others provided exceptional service., no hovering around the table is a bonus, but attentive to our needs. The menu, both food & wine, were perfect- well done chefs. The fact that this quality restaurant is open on a Monday is also a bonus. We are visiting from SA & will send all our friends to dine here. Grazie mille.

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

Lovely weather so an outside table was ideal. Inside was also a bit noisy for us on a Friday night but what would you expect.
