Digital Wine Tasting & Tapas

With multiple locations over London, Vagabond is an ideal spot for after work drinks, date night and catching up with friends at their stylish, laid-back wine bars.

Offering an alternative to the snobbery of traditional wine-tasting, self-pour machines encourage you to explore and experiment with small samples of wine before committing and if you find it difficult to know where to start, with such a wide variety to choose from, their new Digital Wine Flights are the perfect solution.

First of all, you open the app on your phone which asks a few simple questions to get to know your taste and let's you choose between a red or white wine journey. Similar to a treasure hunt, the app will then lead you to four different bottles of wine it has selected for you and pour a 25ml from the self-serve dispensers.

Along with providing helpful tasting notes on each wine, it will then ask for your feedback with a few multiple choice questions to work out which wine style you prefer.

At the end of the experience, it will advise you on which style you're most suited to so you'll know where to head to find your perfect glass. This will either be Vibrant, Elegant, Spicy or Bold for red or Crisp, Subtle, Aromatic or Rich for white and the wines are grouped together and labelled with these styles so they're easy to find.

Perfect for sharing, we loved the plump Gordal Olives and Patatas Bravas served in a rich homemade bravas sauce and aioli.

Once you've discovered the wine you want to try, you can relax with a glass or a bottle and delicious menu of tapas to choose from.

The Pil Pil Prawns are giant and juicy, served in white wine and garlic sauce with a side of toasted baguette.

However it was the Cheeseboard that stole the show with a curated selection of artisan cheeses, chutney, honey, crackers, grapes and slices of pear. Paired with our newly discovered favourite bottle of red wine, Are you taking the Pais? Vagabond X Leo Erazo, it was the perfect combination.
