Details

38 South Parade in Summertown is home to the Oxford Wine Tavern, a specialist wine bar offering a vast selection of wines by the glass and bottle, alongside high-quality beers. This venue, which opened around November 2023, is the newest from the family-run Oxford Wine Company and focuses on creating a space where guests can enjoy delicious wines and connect with fellow enthusiasts. Inside, you'll find a welcoming atmosphere, with design features such as a 300-year-old olive tree with seating built around it, adding a unique talking point to your visit. They also offer a menu of light food options and tapas-style dishes designed to complement the extensive drinks list, ensuring a well-rounded experience. Whether you're keen to sample a new vintage or purchase a bottle to take away, the knowledgeable team is on hand to guide you.

The Summertown Wine Bar, as it's also known, has quickly established itself as a cosy yet classy spot since opening its doors. It's not just about the impressive range of wines, with options by the glass starting from an accessible price point; the team has worked hard to create a comfortable and engaging environment. This includes lovely subdued lighting, gorgeous green drapes to create more intimate areas, and a beautifully central bar. Regular events, such as informal wine tastings, jazz on Sundays, and even vinyl nights, add to the lively and welcoming vibe. For those seeking a more private experience, a dedicated tasting room can be booked for meetings, parties, or bespoke tasting sessions. The venue is also dog-friendly, making it a true local hub.

Really cozy place, went on a Monday, very quiet and comfortable. Was able to have a normal conversation without having to shout. Don't know how busy it is in the weekend.
