Description

What’s Included

  • Afternoon wine tasting
  • Taste Champagne + 5 wines
  • Artisan cheese and charcuterie
  • Expert tutor

Which cheese would you use to entice a bear out of the woods?

Camembert!

Oh come on, that’s one of our best. Comedy gold, that is.

OK, the cheesy jokes may be terrible but this Big Deal on a wine, cheese and charcuterie at Bar à vin is rather more enticing.

Opened a little over a year ago, this West End wine bar is the latest addition to Edinburgh’s family of l’escargot restaurants – l’escargot blanc is just upstairs.

Award-winning

Run by the award-winning Chef Patron Fred Berkmiller, Bar à vin is an authentic French wine bar on Queensferry Street.

With walls covered in vintage French drink adverts and old pastis bottle lighting, it is a quirky spot for lunch, an after work glass of wine with nibbles or a leisurely get together with friends over a couple of bottles and a generous platter of charcuterie.

Expert tuition

Say an introductory ‘Bonjour’ to Bar à vin with today’s Big Deal.

Available 7 days a week from 12pm-10pm, the offer is for one person to enjoy an afternoon of wine, cheese, charcuterie and informed but informal wine chat at Bar à vin.

After a welcome glass of Champagne, one of the wine experts behind the bar will talk guests through five glasses of exceptional wine.

If you just want a quick description of each wine, that’s fine. If you want an in-depth discussion about the wine, buckle in.

The staff at Bar à vin are as knowledgeable as they are enthusiastic and more than happy to chat as much or as little as you want. Each guest will be given a set of wine tasting notes at the end of your afternoon.

The drinks will be accompanied by the finest French cheese and European charcuterie served on wine barrel platters.

This offer is for one person. However, it requires a minimum of two guests per booking. Each booking will be a private tasting for your group.

Hand-picked wines

The wine list is almost exclusively French and covers every major wine producing region in France. There is always room for intriguing bottles on the specials list – wherever they come from.

In general, the wines at Bar à vin are biodynamic, organic or naturally made. Many of them come from small, family-run winemakers.

Most of the wines listed are chosen because they pair well with the food offer.

Seasonal peak

Carefully selected, seasonal cheeses and charcuterie from artisan French and Scottish producers will be served with the wine.

Supplied by the famous French firm of affineurs, Hervé Mons, the selection of cheeses served changes every week to ensure they are at their seasonal peak. 

Among other options, the charcuterie selection might include ham from Auvergne; pastrami from Highland Wagyu farm in Perthshire or saucisson from Peelham Farm in the Borders.

What all the products offered have in common is a genuine sense of heritage; they are rooted in the area from which they come.

Happy visitors

It is not unheard of for some of Edinburgh’s top chefs and sommeliers to swing by Bar à vin after their service is over. The general public have been just as enthusiastic. We’ve edited these recent TripAdvisor reviews for length:

‘Best bar à vin in Scotland. As a Frenchman, I can say that this the best “bar a vin” in Edinburgh. Top notch charcuterie, top notch cheeses from proper cheese mongers. Passionate and knowledgeable staff eager to present a range of biodynamic, natural wines from small producers. Inspiring place for foodies.’

‘Excellent wine bar… They have a great wine selection with ALL of the wines sold by the glass! We ordered a mixed cheese and charcuterie platter and a dozen oysters. The cheese and charcuterie was the best I’ve ever had and the oysters were beautiful. The staff are knowledgeable and helpful and really seem to enjoy working there. This place is full of character and a great place to spend an evening. Will definitely be back soon.’

Valid from the 10th of January to the end of March 2017, this Big Deal would make a fantastic introduction to Bar à vin.

It would also make a wonderful gift for anyone who appreciates great food and wine.
