Educating Perth on the deliciousness that is natural wine, Wines of While definitely deserves its spot on this list. The vibe is casual and cool, the wine is fancy and the food is second to none. Grab a streetside table and get set to sip the arvo away. It's also a hop skip and a jump from Vincent Wine, so wine crawl, anyone?

Say oui to Vincent Wine, the chic Parisian-inspired wine bar sitting on the edge of Northbridge. Start your afternoon by perusing the extensive wine list—there’s plenty of French, Italian and Australian drops to work your way through—before settling into the leafy courtyard for a few leisurely glasses as the sun goes down. The snacks are equally tempting, making this an easy choice for long catch-ups and date nights alike.
Shadow Wine Bar
214 William St, Perth WA 6000
Shadow Wine Bar in Northbridge oozes class and elegance, and their wine list will impress even the biggest wine snobs out there. Whether you're looking for a cheeky glass and a snack from the bar menu or you want to go all out and make a night of it, Shadow will not disappoint. Ask your waiter for help pairing your food with the wine, or your wine with the food; whatever order you prefer.
Tom's Providore

Housed inside a beautifully restored heritage building in Highgate, Tom’s Providore is the kind of spot you pop into for a bottle of wine and somehow end up staying all evening. Equal parts neighbourhood wine bar and gourmet grocer, the space is stacked with artisan cheeses, charcuterie and pantry finds, but the real magic happens once you settle in with a glass and something snacky from the kitchen. Nab a seat by the window, order a lavish grazing board and ease into the kind of slow evening this place does best.

Tucked away in the CBD, Copia effortlessly shifts from daytime cafe to after-work wine spot. Find the rear courtyard, order a few knock-off pours alongside charcuterie and small plates, then make a mental note to come back for the basque cheesecake later.

Sitting in the old Gangemi’s site, Boobook Bottles And Bar is there for all your vino, spirit and non-alc options at the front, and a cheeky post-work drink and snack at the back. Celebrating the stunning character-filled architecture of yesteryear, we love the classic checkered flooring, endless high ceilings and the big light-flooding windows that make it a cosy space for a glass (or bottle) shared amongst friends. With a revolving cheese and charcuterie menu too, these guys have concocted the perfect recipe for a great after work tipple.
Margot's
434 William St, Perth WA 6000

Margot’s nails the kind of effortlessly cool wine bar energy Perth can’t get enough of right now. The intimate space blends moody interiors with a warm, neighbourhood feel, making it just as suited to date nights as it is spontaneous midweek wines with friends.
The wine offering is ever-evolving, with a strong focus on minimal-intervention drops alongside classic crowd-pleasers, while the food menu is built around elevated share plates that pair perfectly with whatever’s in your glass. Add in low lighting, good music and the kind of atmosphere that makes it very easy to lose track of time, and it’s no surprise Margot’s has become a go-to for Northbridge drinks.
North
Brighton Wine Bar
190 The Esplanade, Scarborough WA 6019

Scarborough newcomer Brighton is pouring local drops by the seaside, and this one isn’t your average wine bar. With a stacked list of over 200 Aussie wines, more than three quarters sourced right here in Western Australia, including rare finds hunted down at wine auctions and through the proverbial vine, it’s a great opportunity to explore something new.
Thanks to some snazzy tech that keeps open bottles at optimal freshness, Brighton is offering top-shelf vino by the glass, meaning you can dip into something a little special without committing to a full bottle. Big bottle energy without the big bottle spend? We love.
In the kitchen, they’re backing up the high standard set by the bar and keeping things coastal with a Med-inspired menu stacked with local seafood. Light, fresh and flavour-packed, the ethos is all about letting the flames do the heavy lifting, so expect plenty of charred goodness courtesy of the open-flame grill behind the pass.
Little Wave
190 The Esplanade, Scarborough WA 6019

The morning espresso meets evening wine bar in Scarborough that's making big waves, Little Wave offers a little taste of the Mediterranean just steps away from the beach. Created to emulate the bars of France where everybody knows each other by name, Little Wave equally caters to sandy-haired surfers to stop for early morning espressos and couples seeking out an elevated evening experience with an impeccable wine list.
“Everything started because we love wine,” says co-owner Ali Karcher. “Me and Feddie wanted to open a wine bar. He’s from Italy, I'm from the south of France, and we wanted to bring home here. This venue is very personal.”
You'll quickly feel that personal touch. Here, we recommend you lean on the expertise. Take the wine suggestion, ask for the dish pairing. You won't regret it.
The Corner Dairy

Powell's Fromagerie & Wine Bar
12 Electric La, Leederville WA 6007

It might be more fromagerie than wine bar, but when you're chasing a few pours and a tasty nibble in a beautiful setting, Powell's hits the mark every time. The mighty little wine list changes often and is always designed to pair perfectly with the serious cheese offering. If you're sticking around, we'd suggest starting in the whites and working your way up to the reds—asking for the ideal cheese to suit each one, of course.
Casa
399 Oxford St, Mount Hawthorn WA 6016
Arguably one of the coolest spots to eat and drink in Perth right now, Casa is another Euro-leaning wine bar with an unmatched vibe, great drinks, delish eats and super friendly service. Just be prepared to fight all the lucky Mount Hawthorn locals for a table.

The wine list is packed with some absolute gems, with bottles from Aussie and international vineyards, magnums pouring by the glass and rare finds that’ll have all the serious wine nerds swooning. Throw on a chicken skin sarnie and the lobster crunch taco and tell me you're not in heaven.
Little Brother
19A Green St, Mount Hawthorn WA 6016
Along the quieter northern end of Mount Hawthorn, Little Brother is the kind of neighbourhood wine bar that already feels like a local institution. Warm, welcoming and refreshingly unfussy, it’s built for easy catch-ups over good wine, cold pints and a few quality snacks to share.
Behind the bar, you’ll find a thoughtful lineup of wines available by the glass or bottle alongside cocktails and brews from local legends Dingo Brewing. There’s complimentary popcorn on arrival, while the food offering keeps things simple with produce-driven share plates designed to pair perfectly with whatever’s in your glass.
