Very knowledgeable and friendly team. Found me a beautiful bottle of Amerone for a gift. When I have eaten and had drinks in, always on hand to advise an adventurous wine to match their pizza. My only complaint is their zoom tasting events always sell out before I can book!

Wonderful little tardis of an independent wine shop that also serves charcuterie & savoury snacks, all the better to accompany the great selection of wines that can be sampled via the prepay card wine machines downstairs. Upstairs provides extra space for the hosted wine tasting sessions that are run throughout the year. Highly recommended, as much for the laid back atmosphere as the knowledgeable and helpful staff.
*Update* due to the ongoing COVID pandemic, The Tasting House has gone a step further with its home deliveries - we placed another order on Wednesday this week, and received it the same day (with the usual solid packaging, and this time some complementary beers inside the box). As always, the wine selection was sublime. Thanks again Ciaran🍷

Amazing coffee and lovely people too. One of the few treasures in Reading.

This is a wine tasting house that also has a cafe. During the weekend they have all day breakfast/ brunch menu between 9-4pm. The menu has a few interesting items to pick from.
The ambience is really nice and cosy. Very different from other chain cafes or restaurants. It’s small and intimate. The service was great. You may have to wait a little bit as the food is made fresh and depending on traffic the food may take a bit longer.
PS: I had the one pan egg dish.

I love this place. We come every once in a while and it's always delicious. If you are fond of wine, they have a large variety of it. They also have incredible pastries and the best coffee in Reading. I would particularly recommend the lemon drizzle.

Bench Rest at the tasting house. Consistently superb! Beautiful brunch, the best I've ever had. I brought a friend visiting here and now she only wants to visit me so she can eat brunch here! Soft fluffy eggs, amazing fresh sourdough, amazing coffee. I have eaten brunch all around the world but this has to be my favourite!

Had a great time, staff were really friendly and went above and beyond. Great selection of wines, but also gins too. Great atmosphere on a Friday night. Highly recommended.

Mystery wine tasting was good and eye opening actually! I just wish they didn't use duct tape to hide the label! The charcuterie selection we got wasn't all that great but was sufficient for lining our stomachs!
