Open menuWhy it's worth checking out
Artisanal Cellars by Sessions is a Newcastle CBD bottle shop and cellar-door-style venue at Shop R17, 169–185 Hunter Street. Its stated aim is to bring the cellar door experience to customers, with weekly tastings now running in the city centre.
A standout feature is The Gin Wall, described by the venue as the Hunter’s largest selection of domestic and imported gins. It gives gin drinkers a focused reason to visit, while the tastings offer a chance to explore the range in person. As the site includes an over-18 age check, the venue is intended for adults.
For convenience, Artisanal Cellars offers online ordering and has partnered with DoorDash for orders. It suits Newcastle shoppers looking to browse a dedicated alcohol retailer, attend a tasting or arrange a delivery rather than dine in. The website does not provide enough detail to describe the broader product range, interior or events beyond these offerings.
