Commitment-phobes of the capital city assemble; our prayers have finally (or should I say wine-ally) been answered in the form of Vagabond Wines, a quirky wine bar that allows you to sample up to 140 different wines instead of having to commit to a full bottle. Revolutionary, right?
This Victoria based wine wonderland (or wine-derland, if you will) has made finding your perfect grape-juice easier than ever with unique self-serve machines which are activated with a contactless card. Upon arrival, simply top up your Vagabond card (the Oyster card of the wine world) and enjoy an evening of tapping and tasting your way through whichever wines take your fancy.
Passionate to make great wine accessible to everybody, Vagabond allows wine-lovers (no matter their level of expertise) to discover new wines at affordable prices with their custom-made vino vending machines. Each wine is stored at the correct temperature meaning they are ready and waiting to be enjoyed by customers who can opt to sample a small taster or guzzle down a full glass (absolutely no judging here).
Above each tap are the tasting notes which will help guide you in your wine selection, but the super friendly team are also on hand to point you in the right direction and grab you a bottle if (or more likely, when) you’ve found the wine of your dreams.
Although the wine is the main event, Vagabond also have a menu which is jam-packed full of mouth-watering small plates, sandwiches, sharing boards and of course: cheese. Because you simply can’t have wine without cheese, am I right?
Within walking distance of Victoria train and coach stations, this wonderful wine bar is the perfect spot to sip on a Savvy B before a long journey. Looking for the perfect first-date spot or somewhere to have a gossip with your pals? Or perhaps you’re heading to one of the nearby theatres and fancy a pre-show Chardonnay? Whatever the occasion, Vagabond has something delicious for everybody to enjoy and the interactive element makes it all the more exciting.
Cosy interiors, good vibes, delicious food and more wine than you can shake a stick at? It all sounds pretty darn wine-derful to us.
