  It’s hard to believe it’s closing down! Really enjoyed the wine and cheese tasting. The environment is pretty cosy as well. Really good for a special occasion or just celebrating with friends misslillysjourneys.wordpress.com

  Cantina Vinopolis framed by two large Victorian arches has a very contemporary brick face look to it. I must admit that I didn’t quite know what to expect as I walked in one rainy evening after work. The night that I came to this interesting little spot, was actually a first date and I could not have been more impressed… Their wine selection was incredible, the staff knowledgeable and friendly; and their wine tasting experience was very professional. A little later the music started up and a lot of people got up to dance. Really a fun experience and I would highly recommend a visit! laurasworld.co.za

  The VibeToo seldom does one learn something new on a date. The banal details of your companions profession, colleagues, parents, school, recently attended weddings Time to find someone new perhaps? No need at Vinopolis as the location does the talking and one of its many voluble sommeliers will guide you through a series of cavernous, gaping rooms as your walking ice-breaker.The OrderThe agonies of choice are eliminated for twenty happy minutes while youre introduced to your experience. Clutching a glass of welcome Sauvignon, youre taught to examine, sip, slurp and gurgle its contents. Versed in this long preamble of seduction, off you go, plastic card in hand to claim your tasting credits. Choice restored, youre free to roam from room to room, sampling such Bacchanalian delights as Californian Bogle Vineyards 2013 with notes of honeysuckle, camomile, rosemary and thyme and a sturdy Chilean Chardonnay, a bronze medal holder in its field; saddley with a nose of toast.If you dont mind how quickly you guzzle your taster credits, you might want to splash out on the full-bodied 2006 Bellas Garden Shiraz from the Barossa Valley, to prove to your partner the Australians can produce fine wine, whatever Footballers Wives might have conditioned you to think. If, however, you prefer to take things slower, the Georgian wine display costs one token per taster glass and you can wash up at the Absinthe bar, ensuring youre suitably sozzled by the time you come to claim your tapas plate and final bottle all part of the 55 Date Night package.The GameDid you know the Doomsday Book lists forty vineyards in England? That we invented Champagne? That wine was first cultivated in Georgia? At Vinopolis, conversation abounds, led by your sommelier, and corroborated by the many billboards teaching you about the origins of wine.The place offers a compromise between those for whom dating is synonymous with drinking and those who cant sit still. Neither gimmicky nor geeky, Vinopolis is a soi-disant visitors attraction which means the many couples that descend for Date Night fail to mask the air of office parties well spent. Once youve sampled its myriad delicacies, youll have learnt and laughed so dont loiter long: bid a retreat to neighbouring Brew Wharf to continue your alcoholic education with hundreds of beers as your new subject.The FaultsIf you make the most of Vinopolis, you may not remember anything youre taught. Chin chin.Sex Factor3 Drink may dull desire but, administered well, it can make even a dullard appear delightful. socialconcierge.co.uk
