From small parcels of cool-climate volcanic soils in Baw Baw Shire, has been making wine since 2024.
After spending years in specialty coffee, his approach to wine has always been grounded in place first. Letting the site do the talking rather than getting in the way of it.
The latest releases have heaps of texture, structure and energy, and we’re super stoked to be pouring them by the glass.

Over the past few years, we’ve tried to create experiences at BYRDI that reflect a sense of time and place — drinks, food and moments that could only really exist here, and only for a short while.
From June 1, BYRDI will evolve into something new.
For a limited time, BYRDI becomes EPHEMERA.
A transient wine bar and kitchen built around what exists right now.
Wine-led. Snack-driven. ten cocktails, rewritten weekly.
EPHEMERA is our way of embracing impermanence. The menus will change constantly with the seasons, the market and our own curiosity. Some drinks may only exist for a week. Some dishes may disappear overnight. We want to create a space that feels alive and responsive to the moment.
While the format may change, the philosophy remains the same: thoughtful hospitality, seasonality and creating experiences that feel connected to this place and this time.
We’re incredibly excited to share this next chapter with you.
Launching June 1.
Walk-ins only.
No reservations.
Open 7 days from 5pm.
Nothing here is intended to last.
Everything here is intended to matter.
