RENARD is a cocktail bar & social club that serves booze alongside small dishes and disco ‘til late — We are a bistro-esque discotheque, of sorts. Renard (French, Re•Nar — ‘Fox’) started as an affectionate tongue-in-cheek reference to our beloved nightclub — The Faux Social Club — which was often mispronounced by punters as ‘The Fox Social Club.’ The malapropism stuck with us, and figured we better put it to use on the next rendition of the space. The venue boasts a selection of independent spirits, Australian and French minimal intervention wines, with an ever-changing seasonal food and cocktails list. Proudly independently owned and operated by Ballarat brothers Teddy & Louis. Join us for your pre or post dinner drinks, your date nights, late nights, and great nights.

Michael Unwin is deeply passionate about the process of growing grapes and turning them into wine. His passion for winemaking spans 35 years. As a young New Zealander, he studied horticulture and then travelled to Europe, where he started working for a champagne maker. In the decade that followed, his learned the art of winemaking, travelling to all areas of Europe working with some of the highest regarded experts in the field. In 2000, Michael and his wife Cat (a fellow Kiwi), established Michael Unwin Wines in Ararat. From 2004 onwards, their purpose-built winery in Beaufort became an iconic and recognisable landmark for anyone travelling along the Western Highway. At that location, their cellar door enjoyed a constant flow of customers; some coming on a designated day trip, others scheduling in a wine and tapas treat on the weekend, and some stocking-up of their favourite drop on the commute between Ballarat and Ararat or Horsham. In early 2020, Michael and Cat closed the Beaufort site and reopened the vineyard, winery and cellar door on Remembrance Drive, Windermere – ten minutes west of Ballarat. The site has allowed Michael to realise his dream of being an entirely independent winemaker, where everything from grape growing, vinifying, bottling, packaging, warehousing, distribution and public tastings and sales is done at the one location.
