aalia wine room
AALIA Wine Room is a wine-first extension of AALIA, shaped by a philosophy of discovery and wine without pretension or rules. Designed as a space where curiosity leads and convention falls away, it offers a more intimate way to experience AALIA — relaxed, generous, and quietly confident. Here, wine sets the rhythm, conversation lingers, and exploration is encouraged without pressure or pretense.
Paired with a concise Middle Eastern menu by Executive Chef Paul Farag, the experience distils AALIA’s culinary language into dishes designed to complement the glass. Familiar yet unexpected, AALIA Wine Room invites guests to discard assumptions, embrace the unexplored, and enjoy wine entirely on their own terms.
about the sommelier
Canberra native Sarah O’Dwyer plays a central role in shaping AALIA’s wine identity across both the restaurant and AALIA Wine Room. With over a decade in hospitality, she brings clarity, confidence, and strategic direction to the wine program, ensuring it evolves with intention while remaining grounded in AALIA’s ethos.
As Precinct Sommelier, she oversees wine strategy across the CBD precinct, curating the lists, guiding cellar direction, and mentoring Head Sommeliers to deliver consistency, depth, and excellence across both venues, creating wine experiences that feel considered, generous, and quietly assured.
