Prince Wine Store Are Opening Their Own Bar

Wine lovers, raise your glasses: one of the best wine shops in Sydney is getting its very own bar. Prince Wine Store opened in Zetland a little over a year ago, and has been keeping the neighbourhood lubricated ever since. Cutting out the journey home and letting you knock back a few on site really was the next logical step.

This won't be the first time Prince has stepped into the hospitality game, with their flagship store in South Melbourne operating the adjacent Bellota Wine Bar since April 2013. That venue's head chef, Danielle Rensonnet, will oversee the menu in Sydney, although manager Jacq Turner told Gourmet Traveller that the Zetland site would eschew the bistro-style dining of its Melbourne counterpart. Instead, you can expect "classic wine bar food," such as oysters and charcuterie, as well as a small selection of heartier meals that will rotate on a daily basis, with the chefs taking full advantage of quality NSW produce.

The yet-to-be-named bar, which is expected to open in June, will also expand on the wine store's schedule of tastings and masterclasses, hosting regular wine dinners focused on different regions around the world.

Prince Wine Store is located at 40 Hansard Street, Zetland.
