East End Cellars Expands to Norwood
vineyard's commitment to certified organic and biodynamic farming practices. Working closely with a team of architects, builders, and interior designers who shared their vision, Yangarra Estate brought their philosophy to life in an exquisite and sophisticated manner.
Barry Bradbrook, the architect involved in the project, elaborates, “From the very beginning we formed strong relationships with the Yangarra team to gain a deep understanding of their vision for the project as well as their passion for premium quality, surrounds and experiences.”
“The design represents a journey of discovery, with a series of sophisticated spaces crafted from natural materials inspired by the Yangarra Estate landscape.” Among the unique spaces within the cellar door is a private tasting room dedicated to the wines of Hickinbotham Clarendon Vineyards. Crafted by Peter Fraser and renowned Napa Valley winemaker Chris Carpenter, these wines offer an exclusive tasting experience. Located on the ground floor, overlooking the barrel and feature ferment room, the Hickinbotham tasting room caters to visitors seeking a deeper understanding of the vineyard's geology, vineyards, and production methods, all within the remarkable Clarendon district.
At Yangarra Estate, their unwavering dedication lies in crafting wines exclusively from their estate vineyards, with a focus on southern Rhône varieties. The iconic bush-vine Grenache holds a special place in their portfolio, with their pinnacle wine, High Sands Grenache, sourced from a 1.7-hectare block planted in 1946, commanding the highest elevation on the vineyard.
The eagerly awaited Yangarra Estate cellar door is now open, inviting wine enthusiasts to indulge in a selection of exclusive and immersive wine experiences.

East End Cellars Norwood aims to be a multifaceted venue, encompassing a wine bar, a fine wine retail shop, and a restaurant. The establishment will offer both indoor and outdoor seating, allowing patrons to enjoy dining and wine consumption on the premises.
Considered the heart and soul of the East End by many, East End Cellars has long been a destination for wine lovers of all kinds. The new Norwood location is expected to carry on this tradition of excellence.
East End Cellars, a beloved mainstay of the city's bar scene, has exciting news for wine enthusiasts as it announces the opening of a second location in the Norwood Green development on Magill Road.
The expansion is the result of a partnership between owner Michael Andrewartha, General Manager Mathieu Smeysters, and entrepreneur Andrew Nunn. Smeysters, in particular, expresses enthusiasm for the business's growth, believing that East End Cellars will be warmly welcomed in Norwood.
“It will be a meeting point for people that share a common passion, whether they have been collecting wines for 30 years or have just started their fabulous journey. A wine shop which focuses on small producers from across Australia and the rest of the world, at every price point, and a wine bar that caters to full bodied shiraz drinkers and Pet Nat drinkers alike.”
Slated to open in the second quarter of 2023, East End Cellars Norwood will be part of the Norwood Green retail village. eastendcellars.com.au | @eastendcellars
