Covid information
- We ask you to arrive for your booking no earlier than 5 minutes before as to ensure we don’t become over-crowded within the store.
- We may require the table back promptly at the end of the booking time however should there be no further bookings and you wish to stay you will of course be more than welcome too.
- We politely ask clients while they are not sat drinking to wear face mask, this includes visiting restrooms and perusing our shelves. We will provide face masks but we do ask if customers can bring their own to help us reduce waste.
- We are taking many precautions to protect staff and customers and don’t take these measures lightly, so we ask customers to please support us and respect the policies in place.

Champagne
"Come quickly, I'm tasting the stars..." - Dom Perignon's apocryphal proclamation upon discovering what we now know as Champagne today.
Here at Vin Santo we have a dedicated Champagne list featuring six beautiful Champagnes served by the glass.
