A guide to the best wine bars on the Gold Coast, where the by-the-glass list has grown up alongside the beachfront dining room. From Main Beach and Broadbeach to the headland tables at Burleigh Heads, the Mermaid Beach highway strip and the hinterland above Beechmont, these Gold Coast venues pour crisp Australian whites, coastal rosé and Champagne by the glass — the answer to a long lunch that runs comfortably into the evening.

Arakawa
Restaurant · Ross St, Benowa QLD 4217
Arakawa sits on Ross Street in Benowa, away from the Gold Coast's beachfront strips and all the better for it — a neighbourhood dining room that locals keep to themselves. The cooking is precise and the service unhurried, and the wine list is put together with a cool-climate bias that makes good sense in the Queensland heat. Chardonnay and Pinot Noir lead, drawn from the Adelaide Hills, Tasmania and across the Tasman in New Zealand, while the fuller end of the list leans on Barossa Shiraz and Margaret River Cabernet Sauvignon for the dishes that can carry them. Champagne and rosé are poured by the glass throughout, and the balance across the list means a table can drink in several directions at once without anyone compromising.

Eddy + Wolff
Restaurant · 44 Commerce Dr, Robina QLD 4226
Eddy + Wolff sits on Commerce Drive in Robina, in the Gold Coast's inland centre rather than on the coast, and it has built a following on the strength of what it chooses to pour. The list is small by design and organised around farming rather than fashion: organic growers, regenerative viticulture and producers working with a light hand, drawn from both Australia and Europe so there is always a point of comparison to make. Cool-climate whites and reds do most of the work, keeping the wines fresh and drinkable in the Queensland warmth rather than heavy and alcoholic. Everything worth trying is available by the glass, and the staff are happy to explain who made a wine and why it tastes the way it does.

Norté
Restaurant · 2217 Gold Coast Hwy, Mermaid Beach QLD 4218
Norté sits on the Gold Coast Highway at Mermaid Beach, a stretch that has quietly become one of the coast's better places to eat and drink, and it looks south for its inspiration. The list is built around South America — Argentine Malbec with the weight and dark fruit the grape is known for, Chilean reds and whites that trade on freshness, and Chardonnay and Pinot Noir chosen for line rather than oak. Organic growers are well represented, as are producers off the beaten track whose wines rarely appear on a by-the-glass list in this part of Queensland. Syrah brings pepper and structure to the fuller end, and Champagne is poured throughout, which makes an early glass on the way past feel entirely reasonable.

Sofia’s Restaurant & Bar
Restaurant · Shop G0.53 Oasis Shopping Centre, 75 Surf Parade, Broadbeach
Sofia's sits in the Oasis Shopping Centre on Surf Parade at Broadbeach, a few minutes from the sand, and it is a more considered proposition than the address suggests. The kitchen works in a broadly Italian register and the wine list follows it, with Super-Tuscans providing the serious end of the reds and Italian bottles running through the rest of the card. Australia is represented where it counts: Barossa for warmth and depth, the Yarra Valley for cooler, more restrained fruit, and Chardonnay in both the leaner and richer styles so there is something to suit whatever is being eaten. Everything of interest is available by the glass, which makes it an easy stop before or after an evening on the beachfront.

The Paddock Restaurant at Beechmont Estate
Restaurant · 422 Binna Burra Rd, Beechmont QLD 4211
At The Paddock Restaurant, our story is grounded in the land on which we sit. Estate-grown produce, seasonal menus, and a paddock-to-plate ethos filter through to our wine programme: a strong focus on Australian makers, an adventurous by-the-glass offering, and a selected Coravin selection of global benchmarks for guests to explore.
