Meet Rocco 😍 Remember we are dog friendly!

All our handpicked bottles are available to take home - like the ever-popular Theodora from Austria, shown here in the sold out magnum format 🥂

You’ve got to have Faith. We are beer enthusiasts and keep a generously stocked fridge of some left-field goodies. Faith by Northern Monk is a modern Pale Ale packed with soft fruit flavours. Smooth, tropical and juicy.

One of our most popular by the glass - named “the mates blend”, made by a maverick cooperative with no filtration, chemicals or yeasts.
Full of crunchy red fruit, dried herbs, and warm, lifting spice; an easy drinking, medium-bodied Côtes du Rhône.

Our Sunday craft fair is open from noon and we'll be showing on our big screen, with sound!

Ayinger Lager Hell - our carefully curated beer selection includes this award winning every day Bavarian wheat beer. It’s golden, with a light malt - smooth and mellow 🍺

That’s the sun out, friends.

What a spot. Get out the wind this avo and pop in for wine and tacos! 🌮 🍷

This handsome Austrian devil is always pouring by the glass at Vin-Cru. Made simply, with stainless steel and natural yeast to produce stunning rich - yet smooth - Burgundy-like finesse. Atanasius is charming and open, affectionate and gentle 🤗 🍷 🇦🇹

One of the most popular reds by the glass - Rugra Merlot is all natural, no sulphates. Intense with dark ripe berries and juicy acidity. The entire estate makes less than 5,000 bottles a year 🍷 @ Vin Cru

We have an organic, biodynamic or natural wine for every taste; from razor-sharp whites to funky reds - come by and we’ll help you find your new favourite 🥂

For this miserable day only — a very special Greek Rosé pouring by the glass! Unique, unfiltered and deliciously funky - come try the IGP Macedoine 🥂 @ Vin Cru

New vintage just in! Bright ruby red, smells of raspberry and liquorice. Playful juicy texture, grainy tannins and balanced acidity. La Cuvée des Copains (“mate’s blend”) is all natural and from a groundbreaking co-operative headed up by Denis Deschamps, once of Rhone Valley’s finest.
