Excellent, modern wine bar where you can taste any wine by the glass.

The pinardiers were the the first ships that transported urns of wine. The nautical theme extends throughout this wine bar, from the drawings on the walls to the (typically French) striped t-shirts. It’s a bar and wine cellar that sets itself apart from the competition in several ways.

Firstly, unlike most wine bars, it has a licence to sell alcohol without having to buy food as well, although you’ll be sorely tempted to try one of their incredible meat and cheese platters. If you cave in, you won’t be sorry; everything is delicious and explained to you.

The meticulously selected collection of 100 wines is renewed a little every month, but most importantly:

You can try each and every single wine by the glass thanks to modern technology that means you don’t even have to open the cork to pour wine from a bottle; it’s magic!

Everything is superbly designed, from the menus and platters to the shelves that the wines are displayed on.

Their ‘wines of the moment’ never fail to please either!

These sailors also sell a delicious French cider and a beer on tap.

It’s an exceptional wine bar, but also an exceptional wine cellar; you can have your wine delivered to you in 30 minutes, and part of the wine selection is available at the 3 Pinardiers wine truck which travels to all of the neighbouring festivals!
