There’s no better way to end your busy working week than by enjoying an Italian-style aperitivo in the heart of beautiful Kyneton. Aperitivo Food and Wine Bar offers house made produce, “farm to table’ dishes, alfresco dinning, local award winning wines and authentic Italian food at sensible prices. Your hosts, Sara Grazia - master sausage maker from the Venice Region of Italy and Ron Wallas – local Macedon Ranges winemaker from Malmsbury bring you this rare combination at their modest Piper Street venue. Aperitivo literally means a drink and light appetizers before dinner, but in Italy it’s become a traditional art form where pre-dinner drinks are accompanied by delicious appetizers, to open the palate and tease the taste buds and then stay on for dinner At Aperitivo we know that traditional, handmade foods are always tastier and healthier than anything you can buy. That’s why we make our very own traditional Italian-style antipasto and gourmet sausages as well as fresh pasta dishes with sauces made from fresh ingredients. Enjoy the wonderful flavours of our fresh sausages, traditional cured salami, pancetta and capocollo and delicious cured meats like prosciutto and bresaola … all perfect for Aperitivo time! Aperitivo Food and Wine Bar brings a slice of Italian lifestyle to Victoria by blending the traditional art form of aperitivo with a distinctly Australian element. At Aperitivo we are in the heart of the Macedon Ranges wine region, widely feted for its pinot noir, chardonnay and other varieties. That’s how we can offer you the very best experience of local produce with our exclusive range of premium, award-winning wines from our own boutique winery, Wallaston. Wallaston winemaker Ron Wallas, selects the best fruit from local vineyards, hand picked in the cool of the morning and crushed within half an hour of picking, and crafted into beautiful wines which showcase the strengths of the region. Aperitivo Food and Wine Bar is the Cellar Door for Wallaston wines. You can experience our fantastic wines enjoy our great food then purchase our wines to take with you to enjoy again at home. We can cater for your casual dining needs during our regular open hours or by arrangement for that special private event such as birthdays or anniversary or a social or sporting club get together.
