meet Fabio & Stefano
A deep rooted passion for wine is the foundation of Sella Vinoteca
Growing up on the Mediterranean island of Sardinia, Fabio Dore was helping in his uncle’s vineyards from an early age, which started his inspired journey into wine and food. Sella Vinoteca is where this all comes together in the wine bar & restaurant with focus on Sardinian food.
Stefano grew up about 10km away as the crow flies in Sardinia but it wasn't until he moved to Sydney that he met Fabio. Their Sardinian origin has cemented their friendship and working relationship which spans more than a decade and 3 restaurants.
The food is designed to match the extensive selection of wines such as Vermentino & Cannonau from Sardinia, Sangiovese from Tuscany or Nero d'Avola from Sicily. Come for a glass of wine or stay for a full meal, let the team impart their extensive wine knowledge & help you find your new favourite amongst the more than 350 wines available. And best of all, you will be able to pick up a bottle or 2 from their cellar to take home. Did we mention wine?

A highlight in Randwick’s burgeoning food scene is Sella Vinoteca, a cellar door-style bistro that will transport you to the Mediterranean.
Its name translates to ‘saddle wine shop’ – a nod to the former stables the venue is found on, and a stone’s throw away from the suburb’s titular racecourse.
