About Paranormal Wines

Canberra natural wine lovers treat this Campbell hybrid bottle shop and bar as an essential stop. Shelves stay packed with low-intervention bottles and skin-contact drops from local legends like Ravensworth alongside wild international imports. You can grab any bottle off the retail rack to drink in-house for a flat $15 corkage, or order by the glass while settling into the brightly lit, energetic room. The kitchen backs up the cellar with punchy, ever-shifting snacks—think chickpea panisse, honey-drizzled fried feta, spiced potatoes, and a crisp schnitzel.

  • Curated Low-Intervention Wines: A focused selection of minimal-intervention, orange, and local pours like Ravensworth Riesling, available by the glass or off the shelf.
  • Retail Bottles with $15 Corkage: Pick any bottle straight from the retail racks to drink in-venue for a flat $15 corkage fee.
  • Inventive Snack Menu: A rotating savory menu featuring chickpea panisse, honey-drizzled fried feta, and spiced potatoes.

Why Visit Paranormal Wines

Why wine lovers and casual diners choose this Campbell hybrid bottle shop and bar

  • Retail Pricing with Flat $15 Corkage

    Guests can choose bottles directly off retail shelves to drink in-house for a flat $15 corkage fee, avoiding standard bar markups alongside options by the glass.

    You can also buy a bottle and enjoy for $15 corkage (so pay retail RRP not bar pricing) or they have a selection by the glass.

  • Specialized Minimal-Intervention Wines

    A curated program dedicated to minimal-intervention, orange, fizzy, and unconventional natural bottles served alongside inventive dishes and snacks.

    The allure of Paranormal Wines lies in their selection of wines crafted with minimal intervention, preserving the essence of the vine.

  • Unpretentious, Reassuring Guidance

    Friendly guidance removes the intimidation of natural wines, ensuring guests find exceptional bottles without feeling pressured toward high prices.

    Although when I asked for suggestions the guy who helped me didn't go straight for their most expensive bottle and suggested an absolute cracker of a bottle

  • The Ideal Pre-Dinner or After-Work Stop

    An easy, flexible stop for high-quality drinks and savory snacks before heading out to dinner or wrapping up the workday without needing a formal booking.

    We dropped in for a pre dinner drink, on our way to dinner. Great wine bar located close to the Sebel, staff very knowledgeable about the wines and happy to share!
