New Bristol wine bar and bottle shop to open as part of expansion plans - here's where and when
Bristol’s Carmen Street Wine, from the team behind Caper & Cure, is expanding with the addition of a new bottleshop next door, opening on November 29.
The new Carmen Street Wine Bar & Bottleshop will extend the much-loved Stokes Croft venue, adding 30 extra covers.
At the heart of the space will be a large charcoal coloured oak table, bespoke-made by Ennis & Brown, designed to seat up to 20 guests for special wine tastings, private events, and communal dinners.
Guests will now be able to enjoy wines on site, purchase bottles to take home, or order online from an expanded retail selection.
A seasonal menu of small plates, charcuterie, and cheese - created by Head Chef Matty Grove - will accompany the list.
Dishes will include refined favourites such as moules marinière, pâté en croûte, and freshly baked madeleines.
Led by sommelier Holly Purnell-Swan, the team has curated a thoughtful wine selection focused on low-intervention European producers, with bottles that reflect personal connections and provenance.
Highlights include One Another Bacchus by Georges Loat, a one-man micro-winery in Gloucestershire, and the team’s own imported wines from Alto de Pioz, just outside Madrid — an elegant, easy-drinking white made from the native Malvar grape.
