I went as part of a corporate function. Lovely venue, despite the rumbling train sounds. Lunch was appaling. I queued for 45 minutes but trhere was no food left for 20 of us. The catering manager kept moaning about how greedy people were and said she'd send out for sandwiches. An hour later, with severe hypoglaucemia, I asked if I... more

Given this as a gift. They lost our booking but dealt with that problem ok. The introductory talk was quite good, she knew what she was talking about! It was quite crowded and sometimes difficult to get to the wine tables. All a bit money grabbing with vouchers, add ons that can be purchased etc. Feeling at the end of... more

Unfortunately I feel Vinopolis represents much of what is wrong with many London attractions today- overpriced, cynical and ill-executed. I have been twice- once more than 2 years ago- and on that visit there was clear signage so you knew where to go, there was a beers section (now gone) and a staffed Absinthe table (now gone- although the table... more

Visited Vinopolis at London Bridge last week, it was a great fun evening, staff - sober- and very helpful, I would find it very difficult to remain sane if I was member of staff !! Excellent value for money. Thank you to all the staff. I tried wines I hadn't tried before and also Champagnes, the obligatory cocktail was lovely. more

I have been asked to organise an event in Vinopolis for our company. Straight from the beginning I have been dealing with very nice, polite people who were willing to help. The event itself was just great. The wine tour was full of exciting information and the lady was lovely and professional. After the tour we went to Blue Bar... more

My husband & I visited yesterday 23/7/09 with slight reluctance after some of the previous reviews.We arrived and were greeted well enough nothing rude. We had about a 20 minute talk which was reasonably informative. Then we had a wander around and used up our vouchers. Staff were not unhelpful and on the whole pleasant.. This was not a guided... more

Was given a gift of lunch and the wine tour. I was really excited to go as had always wanted to try Vinopolis. It seemed like such a good idea. The lunch was the saving grace. Good food although there were a lot of items on the pre-paid menu which needed a surcharge (and not only the beef or more... more

Very little to recommend this. Certainly not for lovers of wine or whisky. Spend the money in a decent pub instead - there are plenty nearby. more

I did the wine tasting with Oz Clarke at Vinopolis today and I'd recommend it to anyone. Oz brings equal amounts of wit and wisdom to a session that is only supposed to last one hour but ran a good 30 minutes over with all the questions and Oz's wine monlogues. That guy can talk and certainly knows his stuff... more

I bought 'The spirit of Vinopolis' tour for my husband and I as a present. It cost £60 for the 2 of us. You start with a 20 min talk on how to taste and appreciate wine. You then walk around and read information (not much). You will get to try 5 different wines but unfortunately not all the staff... more
