Camberwell South Cellars is a fine wine liquor store on Toorak Road in the leafy south-eastern suburb of Camberwell South. At first it was a grocery store before the then-proprietor experimented and turned a back section of the store into a liquor area. Soon that liquor section had transpired into the whole shop!! Over the 40 years of the store’s existence one thing has remained true – exemplary customer service with every expectation met.

JAMES & SIMONE HALL  

James & Simone met at University of Ballarat in 1994 and together completed a Bachelor of Management course. After University they worked for an Australian tourism firm in America marketing and then leading tours to places such as The Fiji Islands, New Zealand , Cairns , Zimbabwe and South Africa . Europe beckoned after America where they travelled and worked the odd job to support themselves.

They returned to Glen Iris (where James had grown up and attended the local St. Cecilia’s Primary School) for a couple of years.

However, it wasn’t long before they got another bout of the ‘travel-bug’ This time the destination was Japan where they taught English in Hiroshima as well as Takayama in the heart of the Japan Alps. When in the process of finishing up in Japan they were told Camberwell South Cellars was up for sale and decided it would be the perfect challenge and opportunity.

In September 2002 James & Simone took over the running of Camberwell South Cellars and both believe they couldn’t have a better group of loyal local customers.
