Meet the Family
Matt & Kieron
(with Billy & Banjo)
In 2026, with a barely half-baked plan (and less in the bank), Matt and Kieron left Sydney, with Billy and Banjo in tow, on a journey to combine their shared history across hospitality, community engagement and a desire to find some me time.
Today, Cellar Door Social showcases our readiness to host, enjoyment of the finer things and a welcoming and inclusive space for community to socialise and gather. Part social, part sophisticated. Good people belong here.
