This is truly a little piece of heaven in Wapping! Prepare to part with some cash, but in exchange you get the most exquisite experience. The guys who run it are so knowledgeable about their wine — they talk about the vineyard owners that they have bought the wines from and their various practices. It’s absolutely fascinating.
The space itself is lovely — I like to sit on one of the sofas at the back. They have handy tables and powerpoints if you happen to take your laptop with you (as I have done a couple of times).
The nibbles are very good too, I especially love the mackerel pâté, although that may have been a one off special as they had made it about 40 minutes before I ate it!

We have been here several times, having walked past previously and thought it looked good inside. It’s actually a shop that also acts as a bar. Wine selection is very good. On our first visit, when we weren’t sure what we wanted to drink, we were given a taste (and description) of 4 reds. We enjoyed a glass of one of them, and could easily have polished off a bottle! We’ve tried 3 different wines there now, all of which have been excellent.
They also do bar nibbles, mostly locally sourced, eg artisan bread, British cheeses. The beef stripes are a «must have». All the food is good and complements the wines well.
All the staff we’ve come across to date have been excellent. A nice mixture of knowledgeable and personable.
As noted, this is a shop as well as a bar. I think you can buy anything in the shop and they’ll serve it in the bar, though we’ve just gone for those on the wine list so far.
Overall, a good little place for a relaxing drink if you happen to be in Wapping.
