About Hampton Wine Co

Hampton Wine Co is a neighbourhood wine bar and bottle shop at 444 Hampton Street, Hampton. Its list leans towards boutique producers you won't often see in the big chains, and it changes regularly. Inside there is a communal table at the front and a cosy back room with a fireplace. Upstairs is a private function room with its own warm, intimate feel. The upstairs room seats up to 20 guests or holds up to 35 standing, and it is reached by stairs only. For bigger groups, the whole bar can be hired exclusively for as many as 55 people, with lunch and dinner sessions on most days. Food comes as canapé packages of five or eight pieces, from oysters and scallops to sliders, arancini and pork belly bao, or as a shared grazing board instead. BYO catering can also be arranged, with the bar looking after the space and the drinks. Drinks packages are built around the wine list, with standard and premium selections plus draught lager, pale ale and non-alcoholic options. Spirits and cocktail jugs can be added, and a bar tab can be set up ahead of the night. Functions run for three hours, with extensions on request, and a deposit counts towards the final bill. Send an enquiry with your date and group size to plan the details.
