Olde Worlde Wines in Rother

This small fronted winery can almost be missed when walking along Cinque Ports Street in Rye. But spot it and venture in and you'll be greeted by wonderful hosts (Graham and his wife) who really make you feel welcome. The fairly small interior is cosy but nice and their extensive knowledge of wines is second to none. It's not expensive either. Highly recommended and we can't wait to go back.

Fantastic place and great atmosphere. Good wine and friendly people. Worth a visit! «The best wine is the wine you can enjoy in a place like this»

For en plass, og for en stemning! Fantastisk atmosfære, musikk med høy allsangfaktor, inkluderende lokalbefolkning og god vin. 10/10. kommer gjerne tilbake! Takk for oss!<3

Gå dit hvis du liker hyggelige folk, super stemning, live musikk og allsang. En av de beste opplevelsene vi hadde i Rye <3

Seriøst verdens beste plass for live musikk. Føles som å komme inn på en privat fest, med allsang på et eget nivå. Service på et nytt nivå, allsang, og fantastiske folk. Anbefales på det varmeste!!

The best experience we had in Rye! Music and sing along created by a bunch musicians! Great atmosphere, such a lovely crew and the locals were very including and took great care of us. And let’s not forget the wine!! Definitely going back!

We visited Rye Fine Wines whilst in Rye for our annual scollop festival weekend away. We pop in every year, the service and atmosphere is always fantastic. This year it even included yummy scollops from Tatners. The owners are always very welcoming and have great knowledge on all the wines! We will be back next year.

Stumbled on this place on my birthday weekend 10th February, what a fantastic place to be, the owners are welcoming, atmosphere cosy, wine 🍷 fantastic, will certainly be going back. Thank-you for your hospitality ❤️

In truth we have been visiting Rye Fine Wines since, well, since before it opened. I can’t think why I have never thought to review it before, but anyway, here goes: The atmosphere and ambience here are great. Mine hosts, Cathy and Graeme, are warm, welcoming, knowledgeable, and all round lovely guys who really care about their customers and the wider community. There are frequent wine tastings and other customer based events, and both Graeme and Cathy have a very strong ethos of supporting Rye town and its businesses. Nothing nicer than a having an early evening glass of delicious wine, whilst chatting to good pals, and listening to one or two of the locals having an impromptu jam. Simply the best.

Dropped in for a bottle of wine to share with a friend and enjoy on the premises. The service seemed rather amateur although there was a friendly atmosphere with mostly locals chatting about local issues. I asked the Landlord where the toilets were and he told me to use the ones at the train station as the old pipes were blocked at the moment and it would take a while to fix them! I said: : I'd rather not wait that long." and walked down the road to another bar for the convenience of using their toilets! However; because the generous landlord was sharing his toilet with the Rye Wine Cellar there was a queue of five people already waiting. I then walked in the other direction to the train station which was approximately 250 yards along the road ing the other direction. All in all a bed experience and not up to the expected standards that Rye can usually offer. If you can judge a place by the toilets. I'd give it a zero!

This is now called rye fine wines This is the best place ever. I took My Wife for a taste of wine and found a big surprise. There was lovely music the gentleman playing his guitar was brilliant. We all joined in.George the owner was wonderful very friendly and knew everything about Wine. This is the best place to visit. me and my wife will never forget this experience.thank you Tom

In Rye for one night and was looking for a nice bottle of wine for the hotel room. Ended up having 2 glasses each and walking out with 3 bottles. Cracking wine served by the welcoming owner who really knew his stuff. Highly recommend.

This is a very down to earth, welcoming wine bar. It's a small space, with sofas and chairs scattered about and a very small bar. But what makes it is the delicious wine and friendly welcome - the staff/owners are lovely and usually found chatting away to the customers. It's very informal, and feels like it's mostly frequented by locals. But at the same time there was no hint of us tourists being any less welcome!

Olde Worlde Wines has closed and a new wine bar, Rye Fine Wines, is due to open in late September 2020. It has been redecorated, more tables made available and lovely new lighting installed. All is in readiness for a cozy but socially distant and safe environment. The listing on TripAdvisor for its predecessor was always incorrect. Food is not served here, only very good wines to drink or to take away across a range of prices. There is also a limited bottled beer selection.

A local recommended this place during our stay in Rye so we thought we'd give it a try. Loved it. Amazing selection of wines and they have English wine too at a very reasonable price. Very friendly reception from the owners and the customers while we were there. Will definitely visit again when we're next in Rye

Wandered into this place at random and it was one of life’s good decisions. Unpretentious and welcoming, this is a wonderful establishment that is ran with a sense of elegance and populated by a clientele of equally welcoming customers. One drink in and they make you feel like a regular such is their warmth and I’d heartily recommend it to anyone passing through Rye. Miss it at your peril - this is the real deal. It is a wine bar that actually knows about wine and happily will walk you through their impressive selection.

Having read the reviews I was really disappointed. The wine was ok but it’s clearly a place for locals. We went to The Grapevine and had a much more pleasant and welcoming experience with a great choice of wines. Fabulous environment with perfect music.

Excellent and hospitable wine bar with a varied selection - I sampled a couple of grapes I'd never heard of before. The owner Danny is knowledgeable and enthusiastic. I highly recommend paying a visit.

We popped in to this little gem last night as we had a dinner booking round the corner we were too early for. Danny was really welcoming and made sure we got seats at the bar. We asked for a fruity red and he found us three different wines we’d never tried before - an Italian, a Greek and a South African. He clearly knows his stuff and was happy to chat in between serving the regulars - it’s obviously a popular place! We felt genuinely welcomed, we enjoyed all the different wines which were very reasonably priced and when we return to Rye we will definitely make a return visit - thanks for a great experience!

Visited on a Saturday night, nice friendly staff, personable service. Very nice wines! The atmosphere was cosy, with a nice fireplace and plenty of room to sit.

We looked forward to going here after seeing the reviews. However, we walked in twice and spent 5 mins at the bar with not even a hello or can I help you. Nowhere to sit and really only for locals. Such a shame....

What a gem of a place, the barman recommended some very nice wines, which we enjoyed with a lovely evening!

A very knowledgable wine merchant, friendly customers, a fire in winter and some excellent wines by the glass or bottle or to take away. Some decent beers too.

What a great little place lovely wine selection you always get a warm welcome here. Looking forward to our next visit again soon.

A fantastic wine bat in the heart of Rye.

Expect a warm welcome from staff and local regulars when you drop in for a glass or a bottle. What we really liked is the focus on finding a wine you like and feel like drilling at a price you feel like playing. Mark-ups are very modest and a wide range of regions, so whether buying a bottle, stopping for a drink or looking for somewhere to hang-out for an evening check-it out, you'll have a special evening. Try the English wines from just up the road - they're top.

Al ser nuevo en Rye, encontramos OWW cuando llegamos temprano para una reserva de restaurante en las inmediaciones. Este es mi tipo de bar de vinos: ambiente relajado; entendido el propietario/barman; clientela amable; y cacahuetes gratis. Sólo había tres personas allí en el tiempo (era de noche, muy temprano); una pareja local y Stan su terrier. Todos eran muy sociable (aunque en el caso de stan's podría haber sido la cacahuetes). El propietario nos recomendó un vino italiano de la uva, que nunca había oído. Fue excelente y no es caro. Por desgracia sólo una corta visita, pero volveré.

A really nice place. Warm friendly atmosphere.... lovely wine!! The lady at the bar was really friendly

Pop in for a glass or two of wine, you can taste a few different varieties before settling down with your glass or bottle. Great for wine lovers, mostly new world young wines.

Elegimos nuestro vino por estado de ánimo, cuando visite arealways Olde Worlde vinos nos saludaba con una sonrisa. Cuando ordene el barman no tiene problema en darle varios vinos diferentes para probar antes de elegir su bottlefor la noche. Estos siempre parece ser elegido para su sabor en vez de etiqueta así una gran relación calidad buena cata de vinos. Nunca hemos encontrado el bar vacío y hay siempre un concurrido intelectuales pasa con la gente y visitantes.

Bien, todos los comentarios son geniales, así que puede haber sido mala suerte! El lugar es muy agradable, bonito y personal. clientes La chimenea crepitante en una húmeda tarde de marzo era extremadamente acogedor. Pero yo no puedo olvidar el hecho de que este es un bar de vinos. . Y mi copa de vino era un poco dudoso. Quizás fue simplemente una mala elección. No sé mucho sobre el vino un terrible, pero sé que me estaba bebiendo la Cortese había recogido demasiado joven! De todos modos, eso es sólo mi opinión. Pruébalo, puede tener más suerte que yo!

Had no idea what we would find, but this wine bar is amazing. Great company, great wines and worth coming back. If you're in Rye and you like wine, please visit this place, you won't be disappointed.

Nos pareció que este bar era principalmente una tienda de vinos con una sala de degustación, pero ah, qué equivocados estábamos! Funciona como un bar propiamente dicho (al menos no en las tardes cuando visitamos) y aunque es bijou merece la pena una visita ya que tiene una amplia selección de vinos por botella y unos se puede disfrutar por el cristal dentro del bar.

Lo maravilloso que es este sitio. Amable, excelente vino y cerveza a buen precio. Dan, Tim y Graeme son fabulosas. Pero luego está el pop-up que es comida Kyle Tatner meister. Si él está aquí cocinar una tormenta, tienes que comer aquí. Mano, desordenado, deliciosa comida de la calle. Lento carnes cocinadas, vieiras perfectamente cocinado y salsa barbacoa para morirse. Espero que volverá antes de Semana jabalí.

Estábamos muy contentos de estar de vuelta en los viejos tiempos vinos este fin de semana durante nuestra segunda Venera Festival. Gran selección de vinos del viejo mundo (principalmente, por supuesto), a un precio razonable. Vinos ingleses y fizz también tienen y están bien vale la pena. Lo que mas destaca para nosotros (aparte del vino! Es el sentir genuinamente) sobre el lugar, siempre una cálida bienvenida, un gran bullicio. No hay comida como regla, pero platos escalope disponible durante la semana se venera y instamos a todos sensacionales para probar. Recomiendo el blanco Oxney ir con, ligero y refrescante. Para una red, prueba el 'Árbol'. Suave y peligrosa. Un lugar fantástico para pasar el rato y relajarse. Gracias a Graham y Tim. Con retraso felicidades a Dan. Ver por Jabalí semana!

Popped in whilst waiting for a curry in a clear yet very cold winter's night. The hospitably, wine &amp; atmosphere are 2nd to none. Not to be missed

Perhaps good reviews attract good customers in a cycle. It is a small cosy wine bar with one man as the staff who might be the owner? As we were on a pub crawl we had the rule of just one glass before moving on but it was so nice we stayed for another. In a fairly empty January night in town this was one of a few places that were busy. Nice basic/trendy decor.

Ummmmmmmm just amazing, no dreadful homogeneuos idea of this is what it should be just wine and good company.

Although the opening hours vary and are not posted (which is an annoyance) the wine selection to drink in or take out is very good quality. A small place that is quite friendly with lots of locals mixing with visitors.

What a lovely place to spend some time. Dan is a wonderful host and knows his stuff on wines. Love the place...so friendly. Highly recommended to all as a place to check out.....

Was so nice to talk to a person who is really passionate about wine and enjoys what he does. It's not about the money it's about good wine a conversation. Wish there were more of these around!

If you fancy trying good wines and having a chat with friendly staff, this is the place. You feel welcomed straightaway, the hosts are very friendly and the prices are very honest. Definitely worth of a visit!

We had a few glasses of wine in this lovely place and Graham and his team very really helpful, friendly and knowledgeable. Superb atmosphere and full of locals. The place is clean, well maintained and full of charme. We would come back any time. Great to see the good buzz in there. Watch out for the events they are arranging, like scallop fest.

The venue is a tiny wine bar (no food) with a few tables, a small bar, some very friendly locals as and welcoming, knowledgeable staff behind the bar. We went in a few times during our recent stay in Rye and thoroughly enjoyed ourselves on each occasion. Tried a few different wines out (I'm no expert so followed their recommendations), reasonably priced and just a lovely ambience. The staff and customers were happy to offer up recommendations of places to visit, eat and have a real sense of pride about Rye and the surrounding area. On our second visit we were greeted like old friends, it's that kind of place. If this bar was in my home now, I'd never be out of it!

We stumbled across this little gem of a bar after going for a stroll. It looked like a Californian tasting room and wouldn't look out of place in a quaint Napa town.Great wines, good advice from Dan and Graeme, and a lovely crowd of friendly regulars.

Another great recommendation from Jeremy and Tomas at the stunning Aviemore b&amp;b, this place is perfect for a pre or post dinner wine with a really relaxed atmosphere. It's clearly popular, no doubt in part to the gorgeous wine selection but also the fantastic and friendly owner Danny. Us out-of-towners were made to feel very welcome and we'll definitely be back when we return to Rye.

We stayed in Rye for a couple of days mid week and stumbled across this lovely little wine bar, the front of house was great and spent loads of time explaining about all of the different wines. Its also really reasonable and had a lovely local environment. strongly recommend a visit when you are next in Rye.

Here is a place that is very different to your normal wine bar. owner very knowledgeable on his wine and guides you well if your not sure. Been a few times now, and like to try different wines. Also have met some new friends there and all of the cliental are friendly as is Dan the owner. Great place try it.

We came on a recommendation and we were not disappointed. We were only in Rye two nights and we came here both nights. We were in Rye on our mini-moon following our wedding a few days before. First night we met Graham. He was lovely. Knowledgeable about everywhere to see in Rye and we had great conversations about English sparkling wine. The locals came in bit by bit for their after work drink and they were lovely and friendly too. Second night we met Danny. Lovely guy and very knowledgeable about wine and we ended up drinking and purchasing quote a lot of wine.A great spot to hang out with locals and drink and/or purchase great wine. My advice ask for a glass of bicycle (French red wine) and pull up a stool and the bar and have a great evening.

Popped in for a glass, left with 6 bottles! The wine was wonderful, Graham was full of knowledge and very personable, other customers were hilarious. Made for a fun couple of hours - highly recommended.

went for a glass of fizz and loved the atmosphere I here..grayham is so knowledgeable about hus wines x x thanks for a lovly afternoon..see ya soon :)

Popped in for a quick bottle of wine whilst on a girlie weekend away. Lovely, friendly place with lots of wine to take away if you wish.Will be back on our next visit.

we liked this wine bar so much we returned for a 2nd visit on our stay. A warm a friendly welcome awaits,

If You're Liking Your Wine's Or Champs..This This The Place To Go &amp; Been Seen....The Owner Really Does Know His Wines....&amp; Even If You Ask Nicely He'll Take You Down &amp; Show You His Cella Of Which Is Where They Hold Their Group Wine Nights !!...The Only Downside Was The Toilets, Just One Tucked In The Back Corner For ALL To Use..Hmmm Not The Best That I've Been In,Could Do With A Re-Fit

Great booze, conversation and people. Let our dog in to! Recommend. Make sure you don't miss out and have a glass whilst in Rye.

It's very easy to drop in for a glass of wine and find yourself making new friends and talking the night away. Always a warm welcome from Danny and Graham, and their recommendations never miss. The special food evenings during Wild Boar Week and Scallops festival were absolutely outstanding.

We were recommended to try this place by the guesthouse we were staying at. We were not disappointed. Drinking beautiful wine recommended by the owner eating homemade foccacia bead nibbles by and open fire sitting around big barrels. A small but beautiful gem in Rye.

We stumbled across Olde Worlde Wines during the Rye scallop festival and what a gem of a find it was! A wide variety of unusual wines were drinkable for the glass so we didn't have to commit to a bottle and could try a few. There were wines that were matched to the scallops that were on offer at lunchtime (absolutely delicious, by the way).The wine bar was busy yet we were made to feel incredibly welcome, along with our little sausage dog who was also very welcome. In fact we had such a lovely time at lunch that we returned to try out more wine after dinner. We will definitely be back to this fantastic little wine bar.

Chilled, friendly, intimate, cosy and down to earth 'one off wine' bar. If you go once you'll be back! A special place where visitors are welcomed and local friendships formed. The wine's not bad either! Scallop Festival food this weekend. Try the scallop and pork belly skewer. Seriously Yummy.

A wine bar with a difference, or is it an off licence! It could be either but whatever a huge choice of wines at good prices and the tapas type food was also very scrummy. However could do with a slightly better range of beers and soft drinks for non wine drinkers.

Guest chef, Kyle Tatner, served up a delicious chowder and pork belly and scallop kebabs. Delish! All served up in a wonderful atmosphere and good quality wines

Very good wines; maybe the best available by the glass in Rye. My wife and I love this place but it's not good if you're planning to remain sober. I had to be helped across the road after my last visit here. A very amenable and pleasant experience all round. Highly recommended. Unless you have an important meeting afterwards. :-).

I dropped in here recently just passing and it turned out to be a charming little gem. The staff (and other customers) were very friendly and welcoming, the place had a cosy feel and the reasonably priced wine was great. IWould definitely recommend for anyone making a trip to Rye

A great little wine bar with a cosy, warm atmosphere on a cold night. Good selection of reasonably priced quality wines. Make it a stop on your next trip to Rye.

Wild Boar week in Rye. Not only a best place to have a drink, but some of the tastiest food I have ever eaten. Wild boar ribs with Asian sauce n salad and a boarger with bacon and cheese and salady things. Very messy eating, which means it is soooooo good

We popped in for a drink during our weekend in Rye to get away from the cold weather and ending up staying for several - the selection of wines was fantastic. The staff were very friendly and the place was cosy and comfortable.

I love this place but the owner can't spell for toffee.Everyone knows old is spelt old not olde.Also that world is spelt world not worlde.The wines brilliant and most people here seem to be regulars.They are nice and friendly and they all know a lot about wine.In fact they all drank so much wine I'm surprised they could walk and talk let alone spell.Maybe this is the problem.The bloke that wrote the sign outside the shop had been drinking before he got his brush out.That's why he added the extra e's...crazy!

A small, cosy place to enjoy a glass of wine recommended by the barman, who seems very knowledgeable. Open fire, quirky decor and a great vibe. Drinking doesn't get better than this!

We popped in here on a chilly March evening and we were so glad we did. I just love the barrels and the rustic decor as well as the relaxed atmosphere- it reminds me of being in Spain. Also very reasonable prosecco! Graham is a friendly face behind the bar. Definitely worth a visit.

When you first open the door to this little gem so discretely nestling amongst other bijou buildings in the Ancient Town of Rye, you realise all is not lost after all. The first impression is that you have walked into someone's cosy home and invited yourself to join them for a glass or two of wine. You are immediately greeted with a warm welcome by the owner who offers up many choices of wines to suit your palette. Once you have chosen your wine and settled to a comfy spot perhaps beside the grand log fire, you just need to take in the most engaging atmosphere that only the good old days could provide. The building is as its name suggest is very "olde worlde" full of charm and other wine lovers soaking up the experience of chatting like you were old friends with the strangers you have just met who all seem to have same agenda - to appreciate a good wine ( the choice is extensive) and enjoy the company of friendly and interesting locals. Alternatively it allows you place yourself in a cosy corner and just enjoy the wine and watch as it unfolds, with easy on the ears music and very accommodating people serving you. Olde Worlde wines offers wines for sale and tasting evenings for the connoisseur, where you will sample some very exciting wines and enjoy good company. This bar and wine shop can only be only grow in popularity, so happy to have discovered its existence. Will be a regular from now on.

A superb, atmospheric little place. Great wine and artisan cheese and breads on occasions. If you just want a glass or three of wine, or a San Miguel, this place is perfect. Everyone we have brought here has loved it

This place is fabulous! A wine bar and wine shop all in one. It's impossible to go in just to buy wine without sitting at the bar and having a glass or two!It's like walking in to a welcoming little home with its wooden floor, sofa and chairs. The wine selection is excellent, and as it's name suggests, predominantly Old World. The bar is buzzing with wine lovers, and the wines at the bar and by the glass are excellent value considering the quality. £5-£6 a glass and from £15-£17 a bottleDanny who owns the is really knowledgeable and engaging, and with the open fire roaring, light jazz playing in the background and candles burning it's like Hotel California - you can check out any time you like, but you can never leave!If you ever go to Rye and you like great wines in a warm relaxed atmosphere, this place is a must!!
