Popped in yesterday for the first time to utilise the cheese and wine deal on a Wednesday! It effortlessly turned into 2 bottles of wine as the quality was outstanding and cheese delicious (and a generous portion for a freebie!). The set up is cosy and comfortable with a record playing setting the mood, which I loved. The staff were attentive without being overbearing, and shared knowledge and tips with us without a hint of patronising. I'll definitely be coming back and could not recommend more! Must admit I haven't been in sooner because I assumed it would be overpriced for what it is and have no atmosphere - I was wrong for both!
This is a must visit if you're a fan of wine and a good time. With the friendliest and most knowledgeable Ant and Zoe, I can't think of a better place for a glass (or two) of wine �
Absolutely loved this place, the best wine bar I've been to in a long time. Customer service and wine knowledge is outstanding. A fun place to go....
Thoroughly recommend this place ! Absolutely wonderful evening.
The best thing to happen to Cheltenham drinking since the spa waters! Friendly people, loads of wine choices. Highly recommended.
Had a wine tasting evening today with work colleagues. Fab wine. Learnt a lot. Great company and somewhere I will return to. Thank you
Amazing service, really looked after us whilst on a (civilised) hen do. Staff were fantastic, so glad we found this place.
Finally dropped in here tonight for a glass of wine and some yummy cheese. The staff were very friendly and welcoming, and clearly love what they do. Great choice of wine by the glass and a generous quantity of food. Best thing is it's just around the corner from us! We'll definitely be back.

Loved the vibe and had such great fun doing the flight of wine, didn't get competitive at all
We went last night with a works group and was a great evening! Amazing wines and a great host who was very knowledgable! Will definitely be coming back for some rosè!
Such a friendly, welcoming place. Lots of great advice and totally snob free!
Fabulous selection of wines served with top advice and friendly staff. Loves it despite Ant's questionable choice of tee shirts
Another fantastic tasting evening, new wines, new friends and some great cheese to go with it! Thanks to Ant and Zoe we can't wait for the next one 😊
Perfect hosts, knowledgable, friendly and fantastic wine!! I have never seen any couple more suited to their job!!
I gave this 5 star without at comment 2 years. Mainly because I couldn't convey everything I felt in one simple paragraph. I still can't, this place has become more than just a wine bar for me and my family...If you like wine....visit...if you don't like it then I can't help you...no one can. It's that simple. In a world of complexity find solace in this prospect...
Excellent place to drink wine - very friendly staff !
What a great place - really knowledgeable and helpful staff. Nice place for a quiet little drink in town - please keep up the good work
I came here with friends and family so we could simulate a casual wine tasting experience. We all had a great time. If you want to try lots of different wines then I recommend the wine flights where you can try 5 white or 5 red (which change every week, I believe). The owners are lovely and smiley and it's fun to chat to them about wine to add to the blind tasting and pairing up the wines to the descriptions. I always enjoy coming here and it's fun to introduce friends to this place.
We love it here. The owners are super friendly and knowledgeable, the wine list is very impressive, the charcuterie is delicious, AND they're dog friendly. The 'by the glass' menu also changes frequently so you can always try something new even if you don't want to get a whole bottle.
Don't think I have ever met a bar owner with more enthusiasm for his wines than here. Such a lovely man with a great venue. Such a pleasure to visit whenever we go to Cheltenham - the cheeseboard are fab too!
A lovely little wine bar. Relaxed and comfortable one is always guaranteed a warm welcome by Any and Zoe who can also give knowledgeable wine recommendations. They have a great selection of wines that can be served by the bottle, glass or as a flight of wines..the choice is yours. And there are cheese and meat plates should u want something more solid!! I love this little bar and it's proprietors and cannot recommend it highly enough.
Such a great place, we did an unexpected wine tasting with the wine flights which was a lot of fun and the cheese was delicious!
Great atmosphere here. When we arrived the bouncer and all the staff were incredibly friendly and lovely. There was a group of us and we did the wine tasting flight...good fun, really enjoyed it! Simple way to learn more about wines! It was busy here which was great!
Wonderful little wine-focused bar. We both did a wine flight for £15 each, which was delicious and immense fun, with a generous basket of bread. Also have plenty of other bar nibbles, although wished they did a smaller cheese selection for one person. Highly recommended if you like cheese and wine.
We stumbled upon this little gem while on a weekend away. Great selection of wines and tremendous value (especially compared to London prices). My only complaint is that it’s too far away to visit regularly!
Excellent wines and friendly owners who have an expansive knowledge of wines.
Also, the bar snacks are great!
As a bar I would also prefer a small selection of spirits to be available.
It was our first time at the Grape Escape yesterday. We had been for lunch and a wine tour at the 3 choirs wines before and wanted to keep the wine theme going. One of our party had been to the Grape Escape before and recommended it. We were made to feel very welcome when we entered the bar and invited to a table. Both the staff( the owners I believe) were very knowledgeable about all their wines and beers. The ladies had a flight of 6 tasting wines that came with a great fact sheet . The beer I had was really crisp and delicious. We also had a cheese board that we couldn't finish. It was full of some beautiful European cheeses and great testing local cheese. I would highly recommend an easy afternoon at the Grape Escape . We will be back soon. Thanks
