Duty Manager

**Introduction**:
About Innocent Bystander

Innocent Bystander (IB) was born of the Yarra Valley, where wine is our heart and soul (with coffee coming a close second).

While we're serious about wine making, we don't bang on about it or get tied up in industry trends and prestige. Our wines are delicious and approachable, but our home isn't you sniff-and-spit cellar door. At IB we want to deliver great wine experiences that anyone can enjoy.

Above all, we want people to have fun with great, delicious wine. So grab a glass and get on-board.
