Some things never go out of style.
Dressing for dinner.
A beautifully set table.
A great bottle of wine.
Good food. Good conversation. And nowhere else you need to be.
A little glimpse from the walls of our private dining room — and perhaps a little glimpse into the spirit of Ripponlea Food & Wine.
Dining out should still feel like an occasion.

Father’s Day at Ripponlea Food & Wine 🍷
This Sunday 6 September, we’re opening our doors for a special Father’s Day Lunch.
Bring Dad, Grandad and the family together for a relaxed afternoon at RFW with great food, good wine and the hospitality you know and love.
Rather than a fixed Father’s Day menu, we’ll be serving our full À La Carte menu — so everyone can choose exactly what they feel like on the day.
For the little ones, we’ll also have a dedicated Kids Set Menu for $38.50.
Sunday 6 September
Lunch from 11:30am – 3:30pm
Full À La Carte Menu
Kids Set Menu $38.50
Tables are limited for this one-off Sunday opening.
Bookings are now open via the link in our bio.

A little different at RF&W tonight…
We’re closed to the public this evening while we host a private event at Ripponlea Food & Wine.
That means Pasta + Vino Wednesday is taking the night off — but will be back as usual next Wednesday. 🍝🍷
We love seeing RF&W transformed for private dinners, celebrations and special occasions.
Thinking about hosting something of your own? Follow EVENTS.BY.RFW to see another side of Ripponlea Food & Wine and what we can create for private events.
We’ll see everyone back at RF&W tomorrow for Steak Thursday.
