Magnum + Queens Wine - CLOSED
This South Melbourne wine boutique and bar offers a carefully curated list of stellar wines.
Overview
With its diverse range of over 1000 wines and lineup of craft beers, ciders, spirits and mixers, Coventry Street's boutique bottle shop has become a firm favourite for customers in the market for a great take-home drop. Magnum + Queens started out life as an online wine boutique, curated by sommelier extraordinaire Virginia Selleck, before expanding into the offline world in 2018 with a permanent set-up in South Melbourne. The next step to world domination was cracking open a bottle or two in an on-site wine bar.
Pull up a seat and unwind over a few glasses, selected from a weekly-changing drink-in offering covering a selection of local and international wineries and breweries. You can also select any bottle from the shelves, slip the bar a $10 corkage fee (which is waived for bottles over $60) and enjoy it in store. The drinks are complemented by classic drinking snacks: peanuts roasted in maple and duck fat; fennel salami and pickles; Jose Gourmet smoked small sardines with crostini; and Farce free range chicken liver parfait, mulled wine jelly, cornichons and crisp bread, to name a few.
If you're in the area on a Saturday, be sure to pop in for a weekly wine tasting at the Queens Tasting Table from 12–2pm.
