Smoke and Jazz

One of Yarraville's best features is Acqua Del Vino. It features a dedicated menu for the cocktail and spirits drinker, the wine connoissuer, and even cigars for those special occassions when only a bit of tabbacco inspired toxic smoke will do.

The ambience is distinctive - a blend of indulgent service with casual elegance. On those nights when a jazz bands warms the air the room is filled with a gentle flow of rythms that suggests not only the appearance has been dictated, but subtle care was taken to ensure that accoustics move freely and softly through the space.

The few offerings of food on the menu are worthwhile, but it is the drinks that steal the show. Polish Martini's, Acqua del Mojito's, and a few dozen boutique beers. One day I should try the coffee.
