What a difference a couple of years makes! Had been looking forward to a return visit for a while and booked for a birthday treat. Big mistake. Has now gone totally corporate and sterile in its entire look, service and ambience. More people on a corporate meeting than there were wine tasting. Gone are the knowledgeable helpers behind lovely counters... More

Total disappointment after many enjoyable visits prior to the revamp. No atmosphere, no staff, no fun. Will not recommend or return. Such a shame.

The staff were friendly and helpful but that's about the best bit. Your entrance gives you 'points' on a card to use in automatic machines, each tasting is between 1 and 4 points depending on what it is. Although the wines are served at opimum temperature we felt that the reds really suffered as a result of being dispenced straight... More

I arranged a hen party visit a few years ago and to say we had a great time was an understated. It was such a great experience, that up until last weekend I continually raved about the place Now I am putting people off at all costs. I really raved about this to my boyfriend and his family and took... More

Wine tasting experience with freedom to roam. Though the different wines are dispensed through machines rthe experience was brilliant. There were plenty of staff to help when needed but we were able to roam. About and do our own thing. Lovely food available if you need someone to soak up the alcohol Would highly recommend

Our booked table was ready for us. The bar service was excellent and most of the cocktails were really excellent. Fantastic value at 2 for 1. The Parisienne Sour was literally undrinkable but all the others were very good. and tasted like their descriptions.

I visited the Vinopolis yesterday, for the 6th time. Yesterday was the first time I have visited since the re-vamp and stupidly I took a group of 10 friends. The new Vinopolis is just terrible - they have removed any aspect of personal interaction with the experts, replacing this with a bunch of unresponsive touch screen rubbish. You no longer... More

Visited Vinopolis with friends for a birthday celebration, a group of us went and as most of us had previously had a fabulous, fun, entertaining time at Vinopolis, we recommended it to those who hadn't been. What a let down, it is now just a load of vending machines for which you have your card with credits on it, put... More

We booked for a party of 8 last night, 7 had been before and I cannot stress enough how disappointed we were as a result of the makeover! The place is now totally soul less and we will certainly not be returning. Like other reviews on this page, I agree that this has been a huge mistake and without the... More

Good afternoon out, the wine tasting intro was very informative and showed the basics of what to look for when tasting wine. Good selection of wines to try, the interactive wine matching tool was quite useful. Overall good, but on the expensive side for what you get!
