Melbourne’s first CBD winery will open next month in an unusual location – on the ground floor of a building where AA meetings take place upstairs.

Barman & Larder hospitality group boss Eddie Muto, whose other ventures include Mercato Centrale on Collins Street, Left Bank in the city’s Southbank, and Flour Child in St Kilda, said he negotiated his lease with the charity owning the Ross House Building five years ago.
