Urban Winery Sydney

Generally speaking when people want a change of scene they’re trying to escape the big smoke by heading out to greener pastures or sandier shores. But winemaker Alex Reteif went the other way entirely, bringing his wine operation to the inner city. Originally he set up shop in an old warehouse complex in St Peters, but now you will find Urban Winery Sydney in the Entertainment Quarter in Moore Park. That means more space (which is multifunctional, including a fully working open winery, event space, wine bar and cellar door) and somewhere to get a decent drop before you see a movie or after perusing the Moore Park Produce Markets. Head in for high-backed arm chairs, a little backgammon, some cured meats and a whole lot of cool-climate biodynamic wines made from grapes grown on the Reteif family farm in Gundagai NSW.
