About Us

We’re Moira and Liam.
‍
Veraison started as a print magazine about wine, back when we were both much more in love with wine. These days, we’re writing more about culture, mainly through food.

Still critical, still about people/places/things that are doing something good and make Melbourne (Naarm) a place we like living in.

We pay all our contributors a flat rate, plus a proportional fee that scales directly with our subscriber count.

Moira Tirtha is forever looking for the best food and wine pairing.

Question Time

Things we thought you might want to know.
Are you being bribed by venues? 
Whaaaat hahaha who said that... We are totally independent and we don't do sponsored content. We choose to write about places and people when we really resonate with them or have strong opinions that need to go out into the world.
Can I contribute?
Absolutely! We would love to hear from you. We have made a handy submission guide, please have a read, have a think about what you'd like to submit, and send something our way.

Can we collab?
Yes – maybe, it depends! Get in touch, we're definitely up for it if our values align. We love collaborations.
You trash talked my favourite wine bar! What the hell!
We're sorry, but that is the nature of being an independent publication. We're opinionated in a way that some bigger publications can't be – for better or worse. We're dropping hot opinions and nothing is sacred.
You hyped up a wine bar which I KNOW to be problematic! What the hell!
If you have some tea on a publican or restaurateur and you think we should know, we would absolutely love for you to get in touch and dish the dirt. Shoot us an email and air out your grievances.
Why is there dirt in my pét nat? 
That's just bits of dead skin from the feet of the backpackers that were grossly underpaid to make the wine you're drinking. It's fine, it builds resilience.

Veraison is an independent publication about wine and food, and everything in between and around. We create this publication from the unceded lands of the Wurundjeri Woi-wurrung and Bunurong people, and write about wines more often than not grown and produced on further unceded indigenous lands. We strive to create a diverse offering for our readers, and recognise that by writing about wine and (fine-ish) dining, we are operating in a historically very white and elite space. As such we're committed to amplifying the voices that try to diversify this space. If you want to contribute to Veraison, we'd love for you to get in touch.
