Think you have to drive hours out of the city to visit the best wineries in Melbourne? Think again!<\/em> <\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Melbournites (and those without cars) rejoice, there are countless small-scale establishments right here in the CBD and inner-city suburbs. These hidden gems celebrate all things Melbourne, while of course crafting the highest quality drops. So save on fuel, keep it local and raise a glass to your next favourite watering hole. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

On the hunt for rare urban wineries <\/strong> <\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Urban wineries are few and far between, but like most rarities, when you find one it\u2019s pure magic. Brunswick East\u2019s Noisy Ritual<\/strong><\/a> is no exception. In an unassuming building on Lygon Street you\u2019ll find a haven for lovers of wine, good food and loud music (this winery sure lives up to its name). Using sustainable, low-impact practices and sourcing grapes from premium vineyards throughout Victoria, you can expect fresh and fruity drops from their cellar door, open Thursday, Friday and Sunday nights. Enjoy a glass or two with a delicious charcuterie board, while bangin\u2019 tunes set the entire venue abuzz.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Those wanting to get their hands (and feet) dirty can learn how to stomp grapes with Noisy Ritual\u2019s Winemaking 101 course, and true enthusiasts can create their very own vintage over the course of a year with a Winemaker Membership. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The northern suburb of Preston is fast becoming a mecca for craft beer enthusiasts, with notable outfits including Moon Dog World and Tallboy & Moose, with Future Mountain Brewery and Three Ravens just over the border in Reservoir and Thornbury respectively. The first winery to enter the mix is Jamsheed<\/strong><\/a>, a laidback urban winery based in Preston\u2019s south. Hidden in a converted warehouse, the entire place is decked out with industrial-chic furnishings, vintage lamps, plush couches and stacks of wine barrels. On sunny days, take your drink outside to the converted carpark courtyard. Whether you prefer a full-bodied shiraz, an aromatic riesling or a fun, fizzy pet nat, Jamsheed is somewhere you can go to relax, enjoy a slice of woodfire pizza and learn about the winemaking process.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
