Patio Aperitivo at Neighbourhood Wine

Overview

Few things can compare to a classic Italian aperitivo. You order a drink from the bar and with it comes a delectable free snack. This delightful afternoon drinking experience is unavoidable if you're travelling through Italy. But for those of us stuck here in Melbourne, Neighbourhood Wine (one of the best wine bars in Melbourne for our money) is throwing its own version of an aperitivo throughout the rest of summer.

For its Patio Aperitivo sessions, guests sitting out on the terrace from 4–6pm (any day of the week) will receive a free snack when they order a boozy beverage. And these aren't dry breadsticks we're talking.

The Neighbourhood Wine crew will be slinging natural oysters, wagyu beef with bone marrow on sourdough crackers, and honeydew melon topped with capocollo ham to all the aperitivo stans out there.

To nab a complimentary snack, you just need to order a glass of wine, a pint of beer or a cocktail within the two hour window. Cocktail-wise, the team has created a few summer specials for the occasion, including a signature spritz and dirty martini. But you could happily head here for a two-hour sesh on the beers and wine, filling up on plenty of fine Italian-inspired eats.
