At The Vine Shop, we are passionate, fanatic, crazy about and completely in love with wine. What separates wine from other beverages is complexity. Not just complexity within a wine itself, but in all the details that make up a wine. How it is grown and made, what it is made from, where it was made and who made it. Perplexed by the volume of labels on the market today? Let The Vine Shop sort out the good wine from the bad and update you regularly with what we feel is the best quality wine available for your money.
Give your clients, employees or friends a stylish and entertaining evening with a personalised wine tasting. Our customised tastings are completely flexible - one of our wine experts can guide your group through wines based on a theme, vintage or region, and the event can be as formal or as casual as you like. We have the perfect venue located above the shop where we can seat up to 40 people in comfort. Or we can come to you! We provide large, fine glassware and catering can be organised. Our tastings are a fantastic way to relax, reward and network, tasting some great wines while you do it!

The Vine gastro pub on Ware High Street, Hertfordshire, has set a new standard in combining pub with grub. Lovely plush leather sofas, neutral colours and blonde wood flooring set the scene for great food using ingredients sourced, where possible, from local suppliers nearby. The beers come courtesy of small independent breweries, but the wise diner would do better to engage with the wine list, which is long, varied and interesting, with a welcome emphasis on the collective mix. The result is a lively, intimate atmosphere sustained by a helpful and accommodating staff.

In the picturesque village of Coton, a well-known gastro pub is perched prominently alongside green meadows and country footpaths.

This establishment is lead by a knowledgeable team and has long been well known for the quality of food they provide in the restaurant and bar. Its popularity and success with regulars from the village, the city and beyond could be said to be down to The Plough’s constant, yet subtle, changes which help make it a dining experience you really never tire of.
