Welcome to Il Vino!
Here at Il Vino we have always had a very simple goal - to provide our valued customers with a selection of outstanding wines from around the world, and now you can enjoy our entire selection of wines from our retail section, along with a selection of delicious charcuterie, cheeses and other lite bites in our wine bar.
The wine bar has been created to provide an inviting and informal setting to enjoy wine with us any time of day, be it a glass with a quick bit of lunch, a cheeky one on the way home from work or shopping, or a relaxing and more intimate atmosphere in the evening.
To compliment the wines and champagnes we have a delicious selection of cheeses, charcuterie and vegetarian plates, as well as a variety of crostini, bruschetta or cicchetti for small bites.
We have 21 covers for table service, so reservations are recommended for the evenings - just give us a quick call on 020 8504 8799.
Our retail section offering 600+ outstanding wines from around the world has moved to the rear of the premises and is open throughout the whole day and evening and we would be delighted to discuss how we can help you - whether it's choosing a wine to enjoy at Il Vino, the perfect wine for any occasion, or finding a special gift.
We also have a series of wine tasting events - click on the button above for more information on dates, countries, producers and how to book.

Wine tasting events
If you've ever wanted to learn more about different styles of wine from the experts and discover new and exciting wines from around the world in a relaxing and informal way, come along to our series of wine tasting evenings.
We have arranged an ongoing series of midweek wine tasting events with some fantastic producers which take place at Il Vino on Wednesdays.
Below is the calendar of events for the next few months and we'll be adding more shortly, which we'll keep you fully informed about.
We'll introduce you to some outstanding wines from around the world, explaining about each one in a non-technical manner (but feel free to ask whatever questions you like!) and to accompany them we'll also be serving a selection of delicious meats, cheeses and breads.
Events start at 7.30pm and numbers for each event are limited to 24 people, but please feel free to invite friends and family. Tickets are priced per head in advance and if you would book places please either give us a call on 020 8504 8799, call in to the shop, or drop us a quick email from the Contact Us section below.
Here's the full list of upcoming events so far with links to each producer's website where available -
NOVEMBER
Weds 6th - Puglia, Campania & Lazio (£40)
If you're looking for deep, plush reds and crisp, fragrant whites then this is a magical combination of velvety smooth and refreshing citrus wines that offer exceptional quality and fantastic value.
Weds 13th - Christmas Wines (SOLD OUT)
A selection of Moët Hennessy owned prestige wineries to grace your Christmas table, including Joseph Phelps (Napa Valley, USA), Château Galoupet (Provence, France), Terrazas de los Andes (Mendoza, Argentina), Cloudy Bay (Central Otago, New Zealand), Bodega Numanthia (Castile & Leon, Spain).
Weds 20th - Chianti & Tuscany (SOLD OUT)
Christmas wouldn't be Christmas without Chianti. (Not in our house anyway!) From the Poggiotondo Estate in the beautiful hills just west of Florence we have a wonderful selection of Superiore and Riserva Chianti DOCG wines, as well as beautifully aromatic white and rosé wines using Vermentino and Sangiovese.
Weds 27th - Spain (£40)
A fabulous selection of white and reds wines from some outstanding producers across Spain, including Rioja, Ribera del Duero, Priorat, Rueda and Rias Baixas.
DECEMBER
Weds 4th - Dom Perignon, Krug & Ruinart (£100)
Arguably two of the most famous of all Les Grandes Marques Champagne houses, Krug and Dom Perignon represent the epitome of sophistication, style and timeless elegance.
There are very few establishments in the UK where Krug and Dom Perignon are served by the glass (both at £65+ each) and Matt Kowalczyk, Ruinart's UK Sommelier Challenge winner 2023 will join us again for the evening to present these stunning wines for what will be a very memorable evening.
