The best wine bars in Surrey, brought to you by oenophile, Brooke Theis
It's funny how eight glasses of water a day seems impossible, but eight glasses of wine is pretty doable. Particularly if they're imbibed at a classy establishment such as a Surrey wine bar. If, like me, you have a sophisticated evening wine ritual (but do not own a wine cellar) your new favourite watering holes may be a few downward scrolls away.
If I had a wine bar, I would call it Planet of the Grapes. But I don't, yet. So until that fateful day, give one of these top spots a try.

Hampton Cheese and Wine Company
Cheese and wine go together perfectly; I'm not about to deny that. But the number of combinations are endless, so the guidelines offered by Hampton Cheese and Wine Company during your visit are more than welcome to help create the perfect pairings. I recommend writing 'taste wine at the Hampton C&W Co.' on your to-do list and feel that sense of achievement once you tick it off.

Hemingways
Coffee shop by day, happening wine bar by night. Often referred to as the 'Jekyll and Hyde' of Haslemere because by 6pm the sugar bowls disappear, the candles are lit, the lights go down and the music gets that little bit smoother and funkier. Enjoy some meze or tapas while you watch the place transform.
