The Cellar Tasting House & Wine Merchant

A real gem! We walked past The Cellar many times during our stay in Lymington but left it to the last day to properly check it out and we were not disappointed! You can pop in and buy a bottle (or two) or elect to buy a bottle and drink it in situ for a small corkage charge. We chose a relatively new red wine from Spain on the recommendation of the owner and it was delicious. We also had a mixed cheese and meat board which contained some of the most delicious cheeses I have had in a long time (try the Shepherds Purse blue cheese from Yorkshire...just divine!). Don't worry if you are not a wine fan as The Cellar has a large selection of gins and other spirits too! This is a place we will 100% return to when we are next in Lymington.

Just happened by, as we were walking through the town. A fantastic selection of scotch, with some excellent flavours worth tasting from behind the bar! The chap working there was friendly and extremely knowledgeable on the flavours of Islay! I left with a bottle of Port Askaig, but I was spoiled for choice.

We visited during the day to view the wines but found they did wine tasting, Gin tasting and Rum tasting as well as cheese boards paired to suit the wines and meat boards, so we revisited in the evening. The man who ran it was fantastic and made the whole experience, not cheap, but well worth it. We also sampled some sherry, needless to say we left with that. Thank you a lovely evening

We went here yesterday afternoon to have a look at the different wines. We discovered they did a wine tasting option so we went for it. We decided we would leave it up to the gentleman serving us who to choose the wines. My friend had a local sparkling wine from Winchester a rosé blush and a couple of whites. I was given 2 full body reds and also had 2 whites, these were all on the recommendation and we thoroughly enjoyed the whole experience. Will definitely return in the future and try the cheese board and selection of meats. Thank you for your hospitality.
