Welcome to Contentious Character Urban Winery, the home of good wines, high spirits and great debates in Dairy Road Precinct, Fyshwick.

From our beginnings in the rolling hills of Wamboin, to our inner city digs, one thing has remained constant—our commitment to nuanced wines, good old-fashioned hospitality and experiences that win the hearts and minds of our beloved customers.

Whether you come to us for a meal and a tasting, or our wines come to you—we’ll give you plenty to talk about.
