Vinopolis is overrated and wasn't about learning about wines, how to taste them and what your palette prefers. It was merely people let loose to "taste" wines in small amounts but vast quantities. Too many of the wines and their varieties felt like I could have been taste testing in Sainsburys. There was not the range I had hoped for.

What a disappointment! I thought I was imagining how dreadful it was at first – but now I read all the recent negative reviews, I concur 100%. We went for a birthday treat a few years ago and what a great time we had. No horrid vending machines, but knowledgeable people serving in a pleasant environment. You had a proper... More

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.

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.

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
