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.

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.

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ A Wine Lover’s Paradise! Journeys Wine & Bistro is an absolute gem! From the moment I walked in, I felt welcomed by the cozy atmosphere and friendly staff. Their wine selection is incredible—over 100 bottles from around the world, including some rare finds from Eastern Europe, like Moldova, which was a pleasant surprise! I paired my wine with their charcuterie and cheese board, and it was perfection. You can tell they put real passion into what they do, from the carefully curated wines to the delicious food. If you love good wine, good food, and good vibes, this place is a must-visit. Can’t wait to go back! 🍷✨

Wow, what a find Journeys is! If you love wine, this place is a must-visit in Guildford. Seriously, the selection is amazing – it really is like going on a journey through different wines. 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. Honestly, I can't recommend Journeys enough!

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!

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!

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.

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.

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.

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!

After stumbling upon this lovely place in October 2024 when we in Guildford we knew we would have to come back. Here we are again in 2025 this time we booked ahead for family of 4 and we were not disappointed. Once again food was fabulous, we tried more of the menu every dish as tasty as the one before . Even though the restaurant was busy the service was impeccable and staff friendly . What more could you ask for. We will definitely be back next time we are in Guildford. Highly recommend this wonderful restaurant.

Very nice! We have been curious to try this place for ages, but it never happened until today! Highly recommend the Albondigas (Spanish meatballs) and Tortilla Espanola. Juan who served us was very friendly and professional. Place is warm and cosy with a distinct cabin vibe and good music in the background.
