The Solent Cellar

Excellent vintner with a fantastic range and excellent knowledge.
A perfect place to discuss old favourites and discover new ones. Highly recommended.

Lovely staff, huge and great selection of beers and wines, and the most unexpected, incredible food. It's like gourmet restaurant meets wine cellar meets a local, friendly bar. We went there on a Sunday when they have a Sunday Brunch menu which is a selection of small plates, we had almost one of everything, including the puddings, and they were all delicious, really thought through dishes, creative and full of flavour. Priced accordingly and attentive, unobtrusive service. Totally recommend.

This is an independent wine store that is small and with a good range. It seems to have a good range of non-mainstream bottles and this was great to browse and then buy a few bottles.
Overall it is a bit pricey for the regular bottles but that is often the case with independents via Majestics/Waitrose, however there are many bottles that can be selected without paying over the odds and it is always a positive thing to support local independent wine stores. In fact I bought my first local wine here!

Fantastic service and a great selection. Brilliant staff that helped immensely when trying to pick out a gift selection. Will definitely avail of their services again in the future.

Wonderful selection of wines. Very knowledgeable staff. A lovely garden to relax in with a bottle of wine.

A fantastic sweetie shop for adults!
Great service, interesting and delightful wines from unusual producers, with very friendly people happy to listen to your desires and share their experiences to match. I cannot recommend more highly.

A great local independent wine merchant, with friendly service and a great selection of wine and spirits to pick up in store or to have delivered. Highly recommended for those who prefer to shop local rather than at a supermarket.

Friendly fast and efficient service! I went in to find a particular bottle after finding one we enjoyed at a local restaurant. I went in and asked about it and was taken straight to it on the shelf, the lady who served us told us how they found this wine in Oz whilst visiting which was interesting to hear the background behind the drink. I would have enjoyed hearing more but as the children were with me I couldn't prolong the visit.

Great wine shop with an interesting selection to suit all budgets. I enjoy wine but I'm no connoisseur so the helpful and unpretentious advice given was appreciated. Well worth a visit if you're fed up with the same old wines from most supermarkets.

Fantastic independent wine merchants. They have a brilliant selection of wine, gin (and other spirits) and craft beer. Heather and Simon are happy to help you find the right wine for you and they hold some wonderful events.
