Grape &Grazing

A small New Farm wine bar on the Merthyr Road corner, in the old Vine Restaurant space, run by mother-and-son Rowena Wilkinson and Oliver Summons. The model is Melbourne-suburban: a tightly chosen, fast-rotating wine list, share plates and a cheese-and-charcuterie bar built to order in front of you, spilling onto a small terrace. Long lunches are the house style — a few bottles, a table of plates, conversation that runs into the evening. Walk-ins welcome.
