Aperitivo Afternoons
Aperitivo at Bar Vino
Afternoons, the Italian way.
Settle in at Bar Vino for Aperitivo, our new afternoon offering bringing together cocktails, antipasti and good company between lunch and dinner.
From 2:30pm–5:00pm, Tuesday to Saturday, take a seat and ease into the afternoon with a Classic Spritz, Bar Vino Spritz or Amalfi Breeze alongside a selection of antipasti made for sharing.
Freshly shucked oysters with mignonette, local sourdough with whipped butter, focaccia with rosemary EVOO, San Daniele prosciutto and local salumi, calamari fritti and a selection of Italian cheeses are all on offer.
Whether you're extending a long lunch, meeting friends for an afternoon drink or simply stopping by for a spritz and something to eat, Aperitivo is an invitation to linger a little longer.
Tuesday to Saturday
2:30pm–5:00pm
Stay for a spritz
No occasion necessary. Drop in for an afternoon drink and a few plates, or settle in and let Aperitivo roll into dinner.
Walk-ins welcome.
ITALIA × AUSTRALIA - THE WHITE WINE SERIES
ITALIA × AUSTRALIA
THE WHITE WINE SERIES
Two wine cultures. Four courses. One table.
The first chapter of Bar Vino’s Italia × Australia: A Wine Series turns its attention to white wine.
For one evening, we’ll bring together a considered selection of exceptional Italian and Australian wines, drawn from Bar Vino’s extensive cellar and curated by sommelier Kim Townsend. Poured side by side, each wine will be paired with a four-course menu from the Bar Vino kitchen.
From sparkling wine and Riesling through to Chardonnay and a final sweet pairing, each pour offers a chance to experience how grape variety, place and winemaking shape what arrives in the glass.
This isn’t Italy versus Australia. There are no winners to choose.
Instead, it’s an opportunity to taste, compare and discover, guided by Kim and the Bar Vino team in a relaxed setting, with classic Italian dishes made using exceptional Australian produce.
Whether you know your way around a wine list or simply enjoy discovering a great bottle, everyone is welcome at the table.

A New Season on the Table
A Seasonal Shift
A new seasonal expression has arrived at Bar Vino.
Our latest menu is guided by simplicity, seasonality, and provenance. Shaped around vibrant antipasti, handcrafted pastas, and thoughtfully composed larger plates.
From delicate starters to deeply comforting mains, each dish reflects the warmth and generosity of Italian dining.
This is food made for the table. To be passed, enjoyed slowly, and paired with a considered selection of wine.
