The Wine Cellar Brighton

Description

Wine bar. Bottle shop. Tasting destination.

Tucked away in the heart of Brighton, The Wine Cellar Brighton is where relaxed drinking meets seriously good wine. Whether you're joining us for a laid-back glass, diving into a guided tasting, or exploring one of our signature wine flights, we’re all about making wine fun, approachable, and just a little bit indulgent.

With one of the largest selections of Sussex wines in Brighton, alongside handpicked bottles from across the world, there’s always something new to discover.

Wine Tastings

For when you want to sip, swirl, and actually know what you’re drinking.

Our hosted wine tastings are designed to be as enjoyable as they are informative. No stuffiness, no pressure, just great wine and good conversation.

Expect:

  • 5 carefully selected wines per tasting
  • Guided hosting with tasting notes, stories, and a little wine education along the way
  • Seasonal themes and special collaborations throughout the year

Perfect for date nights, group bookings, or anyone who wants to drink wine with a bit more purpose.

Wine Flights

Your passport to wine, no boarding pass required.

Our signature Wine Flights let you explore multiple wines side-by-side, with themed options that change regularly.

Choose your journey:

  • Short Haul = 3 wines
  • Long Haul = 5 wines

Each flight is tailored to your tastes, whether you're into crisp whites, bold reds, Sussex standouts, or something a little different.

Expect:

  • 125ml pours of each wine
  • Fun, easy-to-follow tasting notes
  • A relaxed, self-guided experience

Perfect for casual catch-ups, pre-dinner drinks, or discovering your next favourite bottle.

We offer:

  • A curated wine list with a strong Sussex focus
