We sat down with Almay and Simon to talk about their journeys through food and wine, the evolution of their venues, and the philosophy that continues to shape Neighbourhood Wine all these years on.

A beautiful recipe for strawberry-rhubarb jam doughnuts from Annie Smithers,  the inimitable owner and chef of du Fermier, author of Kitchen Confidential and Recipe for a Kinder Life, and food editor of The Saturday Paper.

We are very excited to offer beautiful new gift-wrapping paper, featuring original art designed by First Nations Arrernte artist, Remi Bertus.  All proceeds from this wrapping paper go to Children’s Ground in support of their work to build a brighter future for the next generation of First Nations peoples.⁠

We spoke with celebrated Australian artist Will Mackinnon about his life between homes in Spain and Australia, his ever-changing creative practice, and the essential role of coffee in the daily rituals which make that practice possible. He kindly let us explore his beautiful Artist's Beach House in Lorne, where he spends part of the year – and which is now available to rent!
