At the heart of ACH’s offerings is an impressive wine list that showcases boutique Australian wines alongside a distinctive collection from the Middle East. Featuring vintages from Lebanon, Israel, and Turkey, the bar pays homage to the world’s second-oldest wine-cultivating region, with roots tracing back to 40,000 BCE. 

This thoughtful curation allows guests to explore the rich flavours and mastery of Middle Eastern winemaking, offering a taste of history in every glass.

The bar’s commitment to Middle Eastern flavours extends beyond wine to its seasonal cocktail menu. Each carefully crafted drink is designed to evoke the stories, flavours, and regions of the Middle East, changing alongside the food menu to ensure a harmonious dining experience.

This attention to detail has not gone unnoticed, with patrons praising the “fantastic wine menu” and the opportunity to sample “interesting middle eastern wines” rarely found elsewhere.

A highlight of ACH Wine Bar’s weekly calendar is the Falls Farm Wednesday event. Each week, a new menu is presented, featuring a selection of plates expertly paired with wines. This event showcases the bar’s dedication to fresh, seasonal ingredients and its skill in wine pairing, offering what one reviewer described as “good value for the calibre of food.”
