We regularly host winemakers in our bar and we're so excited to announce that the team from Italy''s Franz Haas will be joining us next Thursday from 5pm — 7pm. Established in 1880 in the Alto Adige region of Italy's north, Franz Haas is headed by the eighth-generation brother and sister team, Franz and Sofi, together with their mother Maria Luisa.

Every second Monday, we host a talented winemaker in our bar for a tasting. It's a way to celebrate the many wineries from near and far that make up our community.

Noble Rot is a legend of London's hospitality scene and we had the pleasure of hosting them at Marion, in conjunction with Melbourne Food & Wine Festival and our friends at Bibendum​​​​​​​.

Marion voted the top Wineslinger in Australia.

It’s a gentle shift, something we notice in the hem lengths, fabric weights and short sleeves that start to appear on the street.

We love how Gertrude Street lets us make a day of it, connecting art and design, retail and hospitality in such a tight space.

Last December, we participated in DineSmart. For over 20 years, DineSmart’s fundraising initiatives have helped grassroots groups facilitate training and employment opportunities for disadvantaged and vulnerable people.

There’s something about vermouth and ice rattling around a tumbler that seems to match the ease of a summer afternoon - a moment to breathe before the inevitable activity of the meal ahead.

On Wednesday, August 30th, Robert Weil Jnr. joined us for a special tasting dedicated entirely to the joy of Riesling.

This year, Marion along with all Trader House restaurants donated $53,523.70 to DineSmart.
