Le Vignoble Bristol

My partner and I took our friend here. We loved the idea of "pour your own" wine which is done by a top up card. You can sample (a shot basically), 125ml or 250ml just by a push of a button on the machines. If you've always wanted to buy a REALLY expensive bottle of wine but worried you might not like it or just fancy trying it THIS IS THE PLACE by using the sample button!! UNBELIEVABLE GARLIC CAMEMBERT!! spent about £65 for 3 people lots of wine and cheese and we're there for hours!! ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ (There is a Uruguayan red try it fantastic wine! See pic)

This was a lovely place and the concept is great as you get to try lots of wines you might not usually, and the tasting notes were really helpful if you don’t know much about wine like me. however I do find it a bit cheeky to add 12.5% service charge at a serve yourself wine bar?! We weren’t even told this was being added, which makes it feel a bit less optional. Yes the staff were very nice but the whole shtick of the place is you’re serving yourself, so felt a bit off. Overall nice experience though

I really enjoyed my time at Le Vignoble. The staff were friendly and clearly knowledgeable about wine in general, which helped me find wines I was interested in trying more quickly. The atmosphere in the place was really relaxed and the group I was with agreed it felt chilled/friendly. I tried many different wines and ended up buying a bottle as that particular wine I enjoyed the most, and the price I paid I felt was reasonable considering the cost price of the wine from wholesalers. The only reason I gave 4 stars was because I felt the food was overpriced for what it was - I chose the cheese board and I expected more for what I paid. It was more of a taster than a proper dish of food which was a shame. The cheese itself was lovely, however.
