Rye Fine Wines — Restaurant in Rother

Been open for just 2 weeks. Graeme and Cathy give you a warm welcome . A quirky little wine bar with some lesser known wines and in the future local sparkling . All reasonably priced if not sure try before you buy. Hygiene and social distancing complied with NHS Track & Trace appt to scan on entry. Bottled beers, lagers & ciders available to none vino lovers. Decor is barrels as tables and some quirky fold down barrel tables. I recommend the Ciu Ciu a easy light drinking red. Local artists paintings add to the decor and are for sale. Well worth a visit.

The above was during the lockdown.

Attended a tasting event here - Wines of Puglia led by Robert Steel from For the Love of Wine Ltd a family run specialist Italian wine importer who also have their own vineyard in Puglia! Was V atmospheric sitting around a table in the cellar with 6 others learning about the region in Southern Italy and it's wines, with some excellent cheese and ham to accompany. At its conclusion we retired upstairs and enjoyed a lovely social evening with locals and other visitors like ourselves. You will find a great selection of wines to enjoy by the glass or if you have a favourite a bottle. Graeme and Cathy have created a lovely rustic and oh so welcoming venue here which is a joy to visit and I highly recommend you drop by next time you visit Rye, just check opening...

The friendliest place ever! We happened across this charming little wine bar and we're so happy we did. When we arrived there were several locals, obviously all friends (with eachother and the owner Graeme) enjoying a glass of wine and some cheery banter. Far from excluding us, they went out of their way to make us feel welcome. Then a guitar appeared, a violin and a cajon drum (I had to look that up!) for an impromptu jamming/singing session. What a talented lot! We had the best time, thank you Graeme and your wonderful welcoming friends. (Sorry about 'Country Roads' but my Mum will really appreciate it when I show her the video:) ) Oh and I should mention that aside from the warm friendly atmosphere on offer, they also have an excellent choice of...
