SHIPPING INFO & FAQs
Online purchases are processed Monday-Saturday and dispatched Monday through Friday. In stock items normally ship the next business day after an order is placed. You will be informed if we are not able to fulfill your order.
Fastway Couriers is our service provider of choice. We also offer the option of Australia Post, however, we have experienced a high rate of breakages and lost packages using that option.
The site will calculate the delivery charges based on the weight of product and product packaging, the weight of delivery parcel and packing material, dimensions where relevant plus the destination.
The following table is a rough guide only and actual freight costs may vary according to total weight and delivery postcode.

The complete range of products is sold through the Enoteca Sileno Retail Showroom in Carlton North, Melbourne, while the Online Store at enoteca.com.au has a reduced range of key products lines.
Enoteca Sileno Wholesale Division supplies many of the food and wine products to specialist food stores, retailers, bottle shops and restaurants throughout Australia.
If you would like to know if someone stocks a specific product in your local area, please e-mail us via the Contact Us page and we’ll send you the details.
Nearly all our products are shipped to Australia in refrigerated containers which are fitted with temperature data loggers allowing us to monitor container temperatures over every part of the journey.
Our warehouse facility in Brunswick, Melbourne, is totally climate-controlled and is fitted with industrial cold rooms for storing perishable products.
Our Retail Showroom is similarly temperature controlled and maintained at cellar temperature of approximately 18 degrees.
As far as we know, when Gino Di Santo opened Enoteca Sileno in 1982, it was the first place in Australia that specialized in Italian wines and the first business to use the word 'Enoteca' in its name.
There are other businesses which operate throughout Australia who have also chosen to use the word "enoteca" in their name, but we are not associated with any of them.
If you cannot find a product online, it may be for several reasons:
- the product has yet to be uploaded onto the site
- the product has been discontinued, or there is little stock available, so it has been removed
- the product cannot be shipped because it is very fragile, or requires refrigeration.If you require information on a specific product please call 03 9389 7009
There are several reasons why you may not be satisfied with a product and may wish to return it. Below are some common examples and how the Enoteca Sileno Returns Policy would apply in each case. If your circumstances are not covered below please send us an e-mail via the Contact Us page.
For all returns and exchanges an Enoteca Sileno receipt or valid proof of purchase will be required.

I've changed my mind about a purchase.
We ask you to make your selections carefully. Our website is designed to provide you with all the necessary information to make and informed purchase.

I have had an adverse reaction to the product.
If you react to a product, it does not necessarily mean that there is something wrong with the product itself and that Enoteca Sileno, or its suppliers are at fault, or responsible.
Any customers with food sensitivities or allergies, on medication, or with a history of adverse reaction to unfamiliar food products, should check all ingredients. If in doubt you should seek advice from a qualified professional before purchasing a product.
I am a vegetarian and after I started using the product I realised it had animal products.
Customers with specific food restrictions whether they are religious, ideological or medical, should be careful to check all ingredients and seek advice from staff before purchasing a product. In these circumstances Enoteca Sileno cannot be held responsible.
I began consuming the product but I don't like the taste.
Flavour is subjective. What is delicious to one person may be unpalatable to another. It doesn't mean the product is faulty, or that Enoteca Sileno or the product’s manufacture is at fault.
Many of the food and wine products at Enoteca Sileno are genuine regional specialties which are artisan produced. Textures, flavours and aromas can differ significantly from similar products which are industrially produced.
How do I return a product I purchased online?
If you live in the Melbourne Metropolitan area, the easiest way is to return it to the Retail Showroom.
If this is not possible, the item will then need to be shipped back to us. Please call the Retail Showroom on 03 9389 7009 to discuss the circumstances of the product return and to receive further advice on returning the product.
