Journeys Wine Bar & Delicatessen in Guildford

Me and my friend tried out the Wine tasting experience at Journey Guildford on the 5/3/25 and we had such a good time. We would love for more wine tasting experiences.

An intimate, cozy evening snuggled away in their comfortable seating just off the high street, Guildford . Olesea is a phenomenal host introducing Moldavian wine to our repertoire. We are elated with the discovery and look forward to visiting again soon.

Incredible, all round fantastic, food, wine and service! 100% recommend! Can’t wait to come back!

I visited a new location with some friends, and I wholeheartedly recommend this delightful spot for a meal and drinks. The ambiance was wonderful, and I particularly appreciated the extensive wine selection. We received exceptional service, the best I've encountered in Guildford, and thoroughly enjoyed the diverse and international cuisine on offer.

But what makes Journeys extra special are the owners, Serghei and Olesea. They're so welcoming and friendly, you instantly feel at home. They're fantastic hosts and really make the whole experience special. And Serghei's cooking is incredible! You absolutely have to try the Ukrainian dumplings – so authentic and tasty. Oh, and the hot Camembert dip? It's simply divine! I'm already looking forward to my next visit. The atmosphere is lovely too, really relaxed and enjoyable.

Today, I visited a wine bar called Journey’s located on Townsgate in Guildford while waiting for my friends. During this time, I treated myself to their brownie with ice cream and a glass of non-alcoholic champagne. I must say, I absolutely loved it! The brownie was rich and perfectly paired with the ice cream, making it a truly indulgent treat.Today, I visited a wine bar called Journey’s located on Townsgate in Guildford while waiting for my friends.

We had the pleasure of visiting Journey the Wine shop this evening, and it was an absolutely delightful experience! The delicious snacks paired perfectly with their mulled wine, which was nothing short of exceptional – rich, flavorful, and simply outstanding. The customer service was incredibly attentive, making us feel warmly welcomed and comfortable throughout. Thank you for such a wonderful time! We’ll definitely be returning soon!

This Prima Mano Primitivo 2022 was absolutely exceptional! 🫶 I bought it as a gift for my father’s 60th birthday, and it was the perfect choice. My father was delighted with the wine—it truly made his special day unforgettable. I purchased this gem at Journey’s Wine Bar in Guildford, and I must say, the service was outstanding. The knowledgeable staff recommended this wine, and it exceeded all expectations. We enjoyed it during our evening gathering, and it paired beautifully with our charcuterie. If you’re a fan of high-quality wines, I cannot recommend this enough. A big thank you to the team at Journey’s Wine Bar for their wonderful recommendation and exceptional service!

The most delicious wines in a fantastic location. Great atmosphere and very friendly staff.

A real find. I have walked past many times without noticing but this time something drew me in. Excellent pork croquettes, unfussily served, with a glass of well kept wine, enjoyed whilst sitting in the sun. Service is attentive, friendly and discreet and the prices are, for Guildford, surprisingly reasonable! Highly recommended.

We had a really nice time! The place had a cozy vibe with great music, and the wine was fantastic. I tried one that wasn’t quite my taste, but the owner was so helpful and kind, and helped me find one I loved. My partner’s white wine was also really good. We also shared a cheese and salami platter, which was tasty, but the portion felt a bit too small for two people and a little expensive for what we got. Overall, it was a great experience, and I’d definitely come back!

A great little spot in Guildford, great wine choice and nice tapas style small plates. It was nice to be able to sit outside on our one summers day! Staff were very attentive. Will definitely return

We visited Guildford for the weekend, found this little gem! Fabulous selection of wines and great service! We will be back!

We stopped by to have a glass of wine. The very friendly waiter recommended the Sauvignon Blanc from New Zealand (or was it Australia, I’m not sure now) and it didn’t disappoint. Lovely wine, really nice service, great location on central Guildford, just a genuinely nice place.

Lovely wine bar in town, we love the outdoor seating in the summer for a drink. The staff are always really friendly and the drinks are great - love the Porto tonic!

We booked Journeys for a small drink reception following our wedding. We had a fantastic time and were very well looked after. The food and drink were brilliant and we were looked after very well on the day. We would definitely recommend to anyone!

Love it here! Fantastic wine, great service and really love the atmosphere!

One of our favourite places in Guildford. Extremely friendly and excellent food and wine! Also do an incredible chilled port. In the summer it's particularly great as they have seating all outside Tunsgate!

Great food and wine accompanied by very friendly service. I will be coming back soon. I thoroughly enjoyed the Portuguese influenced small plates ( a great way to eat, such good variety) as well as great cheese and meats. Thank you.

Recently had my second delightful evening at Journey’s and wanted to spread the word! You are made to feel so welcome, and the quality of the food and drink are just fantastic. Joao is the perfect host and it’s lovely the way he shares his knowledge and passion for Portuguese food and wine. Thoroughly recommend ending the evening with the chocolate cups filled with cherry brandy!

Lovely staff, really enjoyed a quick drink and cheese board. Good selection of wines, will definitely be back to try more! Cheese board for one was £15, but worth it given the quality of the products used. Thank you.

Always a pleasure to while away several hours at Journeys. Lovely wine, lovely atmosphere. Only problem is that you will probably spend more time there than planned!

Just stunning! We stumbled into this delightful coffee shop / bistro after 3hr car drive abs having never been to Guildford before, feel as if we left as friends! Super chilled relaxed service , simple food done exemplary and just delicious We will be back

Really enjoyed my first visit, it won't be my last. Really interesting selection of wines served by Joao who has a real interest in wine and in ensuring his visitors have an enjoyable experience.

A great find. Independently owned and it shows. The uniqueness of their selection of food coffee and wine. A fusion of Portuguese and Latin food makes for a delicious combination. The coffee is the best quality Colombian coffee can offer. I have not even mentioned the service. Attentive but not intrusive. Highly recommended.

Great place to sit and have a nice cup of wine

This place is gem 💎 in guilford, tapas and the best wines are always top of guilford , very good cuality/price , with the best service , highly recommended for any special occasion 😀 very friendly and professional

Pleasant relaxed vibe, good food (we shared the chorizo) and delightful Portuguese dry white wine. The owner was very welcoming. Will happily return.

Lovely place for a drink and some nibbles

Everything was wonderful. Really great wine selection and lovely food.

Fantastic delicatessen with cafe inside and outdoors on a pedestrianised street. Extremely friendly staff. Reasonably priced. Freshly cooked chorizo was to die for. Will be returning for sure

My husband and I visited here in May this year - purely by chance as we were heading off to another restaurant that had been booked. We sampled a couple of glasses of bubbles, met the wonderful owner ... loved it so much we came back after dinner to sample some more wine and bubbles and a few of the cheeses... and then chorizo!! ..... I have friend visiting from overseas this weekend and I know just the place I am taking her to (my husband and pooch in tow!) for a glass of something delicious to wash down some of those wonderful cheeses - can't wait!

The service was great, as well as the food (although a bit limited in choice). However red wine was served at room temperature, which was way too warm. I would recommend improving that. Also it did smell detergent when we arrived.

We just had such a lovely evening here! A beautiful wine list which is very reasonably priced for the quality, and a cheese board to share. Loved the relaxed atmosphere, and the owner couldn't have been lovelier. In a Guildford which seems to be dominated by chain bars and restaurants, definitely recommend this gem of an independent!

Stopped here for a quick bite to eat for lunch, but somehow ended up ordering everything on the menu. Great little place with brilliant dishes. Wonderful wine selection and it makes a perfect dinner treat. The coffees here are pretty great too. We go back every time we’re in Guildford.

A quiet night, but great cheese and wine. We’ll be back!

Amazing selection with wines from every part in the world. With also nice cheese and charcuterie. Joao is great adviser for all the products on this shop

“Everything was great quality, delicious Portuguese dishes, excellent quality of wines and tasty cheese. Such a dedicated staff and amazing hospitality. Will come back to Journeys and experience again 😊

Stopped in for a coffee as this place is also a café. The coffee was great the owner was very friendly and the Pastel de Nata are the best I've had in UK.

Beautiful wine bar with very knowledgeable staff and great environment!

Great new spot in town, lovely wine and lovely staff. Recommend the pork scratchings!

Amazing new place in Guildford. Highly recommend. Delicious food and wine. Excellent service, beautiful decor. Great atmosphere :)

Stopped in for a couple of glasses of wine before dinner and were tempted by the small charcuterie board. Host / owner was helpful and pleasant and recommended some great wine :) Had a great feel and will definitely go back

Excellent customer service and I loved the atmosphere. My Portuguese chorizo was sooo tasty. Definitely recommended. Thank you Carolina and Joao for a wonderful evening 😘
