Vinopolis in 2007

Back in 2007, we had the opportunity to visit and write about our visit to Vinopolis in London. (See Vinopolis article.) This past summer Vinopolis has been working to revitalize. The facility reopens in October. Vinopolis is located on 2½ acres under the arches of an old railroad viaduct. It’s an amazing space and put to good use.

Vinopolis, a wine experience facility,  is located within walking distance from  Shakespeare’s Globe Theatre, The Tate Modern and Borough Market.

Vinopolis offers  a wide range of  activities including wine tours, tasting events, special events and restaurants. Two shops at Vinopolis are The Whiskey Exchange and Laithwaites Wines. Restaurants include Cantina Vinopolis, Wine Wharf and Brew Wharf.

Visitors can choose from three wine experiences: Essential Wine Experience, Classic Wine Experience and the Quintessential Wine Experience.

Monthly events include:

• Welcome to Wine
• Premium Wine
• Food & Wine
• Cheese & Wine
• Cocktail Masterclass
• Whisky Masterlass
• Fortified Wine Masterclass
• Tom’s Wine School

Special events to watch for:

• Meet the Expert: Oz Clarke
• Vinopolis Hen Parties
• Vinopolis Stag Parties
• Special Dinners

If you are  planning a visit to London, check out Vinopolis.
