Whether you're a seasoned sipper or just curious about what’s in your glass, our tastings are designed to be fun, friendly, and free from fuss. No wine snobbery here, just great bottles, good stories, and a down-to-earth setting that feels like your favourite beachside hangout.
From casual drop-ins to private bookings and festive occasions, every tasting is a little escape. Come taste, laugh, learn; and maybe even find your new favorite wine.

Why Choose
Under The Grapevine
Wine is everywhere. Great wine experiences are much harder to find. At Under the Grapevine, we believe wine should bring people together; not intimidate them. Whether you're joining us for a relaxed evening with friends, celebrating a special occasion or taking your first steps into the world of wine, our tastings are designed to be welcoming, engaging and memorable.
Carefully Curated Wines
Every bottle is personally selected for its quality, character and the story behind it. We champion independent growers, family estates and wines that genuinely deserve a place on your table.
Relaxed, Never Pretentious
No wine snobbery. No pressure to know the "right" answers. Just great wines, interesting stories and an atmosphere where everyone feels comfortable asking questions and discovering something new.
Expert Guidance
Our tastings are hosted by experienced wine professionals, including WSET-certified educators, who know how to make wine both accessible and fascinating; whether you're a complete beginner or a seasoned enthusiast.
More Than Just Wine
A great wine deserves great company. That's why our tastings are thoughtfully paired with carefully selected cheeses, charcuterie or seasonal bites to create a complete experience.
An Independent Wine Merchant
Unlike many tasting venues, every wine you taste has been personally sourced for our shelves. If you discover a new favourite, you can take a bottle home, revisit it later or continue exploring with us at future tastings.
A Community of Wine Lovers
Under the Grapevine is more than a wine shop. It's a place to meet people, discover new wines, learn something unexpected and create memories around the table.
Come for the wine. Stay for the stories. Return for the people.
