The Wine Library

Our award-winning Wine Room is a shop & bar featuring over 700 bottles. From funky naturals to mature classics our list sets out to prove that accessibly priced bottles can yield as much enjoyment as more exclusive options. All bottles are priced both to drink in or take out and we also offer quality beers, spirits & soft drinks. We host private wine tastings for groups & our by the glass selection is different every day. All this & amazing views of the English Channel. Below you can find a list of all wines we currently sell and information on different wine tastings.

WINE TastingS

You can visit our wine room for private & public wine tastings. Our priority is to make tasting fun not stiff and intimidating. We can take your ideas, likes or dislikes and turn them into a whole range of tasting experiences for any occasion. We’ve hosteed many blind “snog, marry, avoid” tastings hen dos, weaned a Burgundy fanatic onto lighter reds of the world, & showed a group of pinot-blush addicts that great rose can be dry no matter what the colour.

Residents’
Every day at 5pm we open three or four wines & pour them for our residents alongside a bit of lively chat about the winemaking. It’s a great way to discover new wines and is open to non-residents for £5 per-person or free if you buy a bottle to go. To check availability just email bookings@theterraceventnor.co.uk

Tasting of the Day
Five wines with a common theme served in 50ml measures over an hour. We can accommodate from 4 - 14 guests at £25 per-person (parties of two are welcome at £50pp) and will suggest themes based on your interests or just what we happen to have open that day.

Interactive
This is a more competitive, fun style of tasting. Nine wines served blind in three rounds with a guessing or scoring element. Can you put the wines in price order? Can you tell which is French or not French? Can you tell a sauvignon from a chardonnay? There are no right answers, just a good laugh as we reveal the wines & winning team. From 8 to 24 guests at £35 to £45 per-person.

Your Choice
A flexible guided tasting for 8-24 guests of as many or as few wines as you’d like to try. You only pay for the wines opened, not the tasting itself. Bottles range from £20 - 100 so we can work to any budget.

Snacks
Nuts and olives - £5 per-guest
Cheese, charcuterie & breads - £12 per-guest

Trade
Are you a hospitality professional working on the Isle of Wight? You have an open invite to our nightly Residents’ tasting with no charge. We can show you how to present wines in a fun, knowledgeable way that engages your guests and encourages them to try wines other than the usual grigio-sauvignon-Provence-malbec suspects.
