This is a great place. Excellent staff & and interesting wine list by the glass. We had a couple of glasses pre dinner (we were eating elsewhere). That said, they do food here eg cold plates like cheese & meats & nibbles.

Called in here looking for somewhere with a nice relaxed atmosphere for a late evening drink, found it very welcoming and a very nice atmosphere, this place is amazing if you are a wine lover but they have a very wide range of drinks. We sampled a couple of wines which were very good and it finished our evening off in Chester in a very relaxing way.

Been here a couple of times - love the atmosphere and the service both times was excellent. They always seem to have time to talk to you about the wines and advise what to have - the quality of everything, food and wine is amazing. It's nice that they decant the wine and serve it properly - the food is cold platters of meat and cheese but that perfectly compliments the excellent wines and everything is fresh - one tip, try the olives - to die for! This place is an absolute must for people visiting Chester who appreciate good wine served as it should be.

These guys did a collaboration with Homebrew tap in Hoole - we had the natural wine flight and it was lovely! Wine master was super knowledgeable and passionate about the vinos on offer & they were lovely choices too! We had a white, orange and red choice. Our favourite was the Austrian white wine! 100% recommend.

Wow what a place! Myself and my partner visited here over 5 years ago and fell in love with all of it, the vibes, the feel of the place, the staff and most importantly the wine. We took a trip back tonight and love the place even more. Not that you have to but we love chatting to the guys who work there, they are sooooo knowledgeable and Sam (legend) recommended the best bottles of red we could have asked for! Off the wine list bottles not even on the wine menu! (Aslong as you buy the bottle!) Which of course was right up our street! That's when the staff really come into their own! Sam was fabulous, he brought us 4 bottles not on the menu, within our price range and explained each to us, and we were blown away, he really knows his stuff. We love the fact with this place you can buy a glass of wine, or a bottle to enjoy, or a bottle to take home ! Whatever you fancy really but most importantly you get honest recommendations based on your taste not forcing you to buy the most expensive bottle like other places do.. really should go down enjoy a bottle of wine or 2 and indulge in the cheese and crackers to go with it! Thanks sam for making tonight wonderful ! See you soon. Leah & Lee x

About a year since we last visited and were pleased to see it still going strong. We had a lovely bottle and some cheese and olives and pate, all of which were delicious. Ralph was very pleasant and knowledgeable. Highly recommended.

I went to Vin Santo for lunch and drinks with my wife and her parents - we had a great time. The rustic decor and low-key lighting makes it great for a relaxing day out. The selection of nibbles we had (cheese, meats, bread etc) was amazing, and the staff were very attentive and helpful. They've also got a very solid beer selection if you're not a wine drinker. No complaints - I'll definitely be coming back.

We absolutely love this place. The venue itself is amazing and heaped in history. The staff are knowledgeable, welcoming and friendly. The wine is delightful and worth paying that little bit extra for. They have a small nibbles selection to accompany the wine which is amazing. The mushroom pate and focaccia is so tasty and a favourite of ours. We always pay a visit to vin Santo every time we are in Chester. It was recommended to us and now we recommend it to everyone

I haven't tried the food yet, but as far as the wine is concerned I have to say a wide choice of bottles (for wine by the glass the choice is limited) for all budgets. Stunning location, nothing to say. Perfect for a romantic evening of meditation in the company of excellent wine. Prices quite high, but worth it.

We discovered this gem on our way to dinner and stopped in afterwards for some wine. Situated in a magnificent cellar, the atmosphere is sophisticated, somewhere where you can sit and have a pleasant conversation while sipping on excellent wine or other drink. The staff are welcoming and know their wines. The selection is great! We did not try any of the charcuterie or cheeses as we had just come from a meal. We'll leave that for next time, because we will be returning. Highly recommended.

Stumbled across this place after trying to go in watergates but they were booking only, the bar was full but we ordered a bottle in the shop and had a drink on the barrels. Once a table became available we were moved into the bar and ordered some great charcuterie and more wine, a great couple of hours in a wonderful setting, also bought a couple of bottles to take home on the way out

Unfortunately this was a awful evening. Far to many people booked in you could not move. Huge queues for each table. It was impossible to get served. And the tastings were the smallest I had ever come across from a wine tasting event. We moved on else were only to bump into people from the wine tasting that had also left for the same reason. Stunning cathedral.

Laura's effervescent charisma has been a huge loss to Handbridge since Meltdown's closure, but will no doubt be a giant gain to whatever comes next for the (former) Toastie Queen. I say former, as there's one final chance to taste her magic creations before the apron is hung up for good at fellow Chester indie scene star That Beer Place on Foregate St tomorrow, which I wouldn't miss for all the cheese in Cheshire...

My friend and I had popped in for a drink earlier in the day and found it to be such a lovely place we decided to go back for our lunch. That decision turned out to be a great one! My friend chose the eggs benedict and told me it was absolutely delicious, my choice of mushrooms on toast I believe was an even choice as it was so exquisite i found myself taking my time to eat it so I can continue to enjoy it. The people who work there are very helpful and welcoming, I am already looking forward to going back there.

Friendly local bar serving fine wine local beers, ciders and ales and guest beers and ales from around the U.K. excellent gin selection and Whiskeys too. Quiz night on Tuesday! Great for meeting friends and used often by cycling groups as they pass through! Opened in July/August 2022 and has served the community well. Dog friendly and children too. Recent addition is some Cheshire farm ice cream which is a favourite for the children during the hot weather. Well worth popping in for a pint of three and for the wine drinkers there is a good selection of fine wines.
