An exceptional experience all round. A great variety of not the usual suspects wine wise. All very accessible though. We were eating later so didn't try food but a great looking menu. Bar itself is a lovely space. Can't wait to return.

Brilliant little independent wine bar! The owners are very knowledgeable and so obviously have a passion for what they do. They're always so welcoming! Whilst I am far from a wine expert, I enjoy trying the wine flights which offer 5 tasters of white or red for £16.They offer some lovely cheese and charcuterie currently, but I wish they could somehow collaborate with the restaurant next door to expand the food options, I would never leave!

Stubled upon by accident ! Wow it didn't disappoint, friendly helpful staff Endless choice or wines, snack board was plentiful aswell, we had the 3 cheese selection which was great value for money. Would definitely recommend.

The most welcoming and enjoyable place to visit in Cheltenham. The wine list (which frequently changes) and food menu are perfect!The owners are so accommodating and friendly, it always feels like you’ve been to visit a couple of friends for a well chosen glass (or bottle!) of wine!

Fantastic place to try new wines or old favourites! Menu changes often so you really get chance to have a new selection each visit.We go here before heading out for dinner.Great service and experience!

I came here with friends and family so we could simulate a casual wine tasting experience. We all had a great time. If you want to try lots of different wines then I recommend the wine flights where you can try 5 white or 5 red (which change every week, I believe). The owners are lovely and smiley and it's fun to chat to them about wine to add to the blind tasting and pairing up the wines to the descriptions. I always enjoy coming here and it's fun to introduce friends to this place.

Such a great place, we did an unexpected wine tasting with the wine flights which was a lot of fun and the cheese was delicious!

Emily Chard

We love it here. The owners are super friendly and knowledgeable, the wine list is very impressive, the charcuterie is delicious, AND they're dog friendly. The 'by the glass' menu also changes frequently so you can always try something new even if you don't want to get a whole bottle.

Don't think I have ever met a bar owner with more enthusiasm for his wines than here. Such a lovely man with a great venue. Such a pleasure to visit whenever we go to Cheltenham - the cheeseboard are fab too!

Wow, what a find. I cant believe I have not been here before. I was taken by my daughter for my birthday and we thought we would take on the wine flight. A bargain an really great fun. The staff were extremely attentive, despite our very obvious lack of wine knowledge. A wonderfully calm and tranquil setting. The cheeseboard was incredible too. This will very quickly become one of my very favourite places to go. Don't miss out.

we went for pre-dinner drinks, the wine list is first class, with loads of choices, and many v reasonably priced for the quality, they also do a wines taster which we will try the next time. Knowledgeable friendly service. Good selection of nibbles too. Well worth a visit.

A lovely little wine bar. Relaxed and comfortable one is always guaranteed a warm welcome by Any and Zoe who can also give knowledgeable wine recommendations. They have a great selection of wines that can be served by the bottle, glass or as a flight of wines..the choice is yours. And there are cheese and meat plates should u want something more solid!! I love this little bar and it's proprietors and cannot recommend it highly enough.

Andy Smith

Best wine bar in town no doubt

Ian Davis

Wonderful little wine-focused bar. We both did a wine flight for £15 each, which was delicious and immense fun, with a generous basket of bread. Also have plenty of other bar nibbles, although wished they did a smaller cheese selection for one person. Highly recommended if you like cheese and wine.
