About Good Pair Days
Wine, minus the snobbery.
We're the wine subscription that Australia fell for, now with a home on Crown Street. A bar, a bottle shop, and a tasting room, rolled into one warm room.
Tell us what you like and we'll point you to your next favourite, whether you're three bottles deep into wine or genuinely can't tell red from white yet. No judgement, just good pours and better company.
Every wine on our wall is personally matched to real taste profiles. Drink it here, take it home at store prices, or have it delivered. Rate what you love, earn points, and let your tastebuds do the talking.
Don't take our word for it
The regulars have spoken.
A few words from the people who've pulled up a stool, pulled a cork, and come back for more.
“If you're in Surry Hills (or visiting), Good Pair Days is an absolute must! The staff are incredibly welcoming and friendly.”
“They really know their wines and are truly very enthusiastic to share their passion for wine (pinot / nebbiolo ❤️).”
“Great selection of wines from all price points, with a dedicated sommelier to ask all our questions.”
“GPD has been a staple in my household, and the vibe in store was replicated exactly how I felt the online version is displayed.”
“Excellent space to relax and have a wine, bottle shop rates if you're a member.”

Aeon Wines
The Hunter Valley has been shaped over millions of years. Alisdair and Kenisha Tulloch of Aeon Wine think that deserves some respect. Every Aeon wine comes from a single vineyard in central Pokolbin, grown and made on the same soils that have defined this region for longer than anyone can remember. No shortcuts, no wandering outside the valley. Just two people, good friends, family, and one of Australia's great wine regions doing what it does best.

Questions, answered.
Do I need to book, or can I just walk in?
Walk-ins are always welcome. We'd only suggest booking ahead for a busy event or a larger group, so we can save you a spot.
Book a table →Do I have to be a member to drink here?
Not at all. Anyone can pull up a stool and drink in. Membership just unlocks the extras: venue pricing, no corkage, points and birthday perks.
I don't really know much about wine. Is that a problem?
Genuinely not. Whether you're three bottles deep or can't tell red from white yet, our team will point you to something you'll love. No snobbery, no judgement.
Do you do food, or can I bring my own?
There's no BYO food, but there's always something to eat alongside your glass. Take a look at what's on.
Is the venue dog-friendly and kid-friendly?
Both welcome. Bring the dog, bring the kids. It's relaxed and we have plenty of seating outside for dogs.
Do you cater to non-drinkers or low-alcohol?
Yes. We keep low- and no-alcohol options on hand, so there's something good in your glass whether or not there's alcohol in it.
Do you charge corkage?
Not for members: take any bottle off the wall and drink it in at shelf price. Non-members pay a small corkage to drink in.
Is it cheaper to take a bottle home than drink it in?
Take a bottle home and we'll never charge corkage. Become a member and you can drink that same bottle in at the same price; non-members just pay a small corkage to drink in.
Can you deliver wine to me after I've visited?
Yes, anywhere in Australia. Become a member and we'll ship whatever you've fallen for from our warehouse, just like any other order. Go monthly and we'll find you new wines to love each and every month.
Can I hire the space for a private event?
Yes. The room takes up to 60 standing or 56 seated, and we host everything from corporate drinks to birthdays. Send us an enquiry and we'll help you plan it.
