Lady of the Grapes Wine Bar Review – Covent Garden’s Female-Founded Wine Bar

Lady of the Grapes – Wine Bar & Deli in Covent Garden

Based in Covent Garden, Lady of the Grapes is an organic wine bar, restaurant, and shop with a carefully curated selection of organic and biodynamic wines in London – no additives, low in sulphites, and completely natural. Natural wine bars aren’t exactly hard to come by in London (understatement), but the Parisian charm of Lady of the Grapes, paired with its thoughtfully chosen wines, isn’t ten a penny.

What really sets it apart is its dedication to women in wine. Founded by Carole Bryon, the team champions female winemakers in London and beyond, and stocks bottles from female-run and female-founded wineries worldwide. It’s a rare space that feels both considered and celebratory—a triple whammy of women in wine.

What to order at Lady of the Grapes

Wine, of course! I wish I could give you an exact recommendation, but the wine list changes frequently – so the glass I love today might not even be on the menu when you pop in. What I can say is that the selection is extensive: white, red, rosé, sparkling, orange…you name it, they’ve got it.

My advice? Take a seat at the high stools in the window for prime people-watching, ask the lovely staff for a recommendation, and whatever you choose, pair it with some Nocellara olives. You’re welcome.

If you’re looking for something more substantial, book a table for dinner and make the most of their seasonal dishes alongside sensational wines. I’ve only ever stopped by for a glass of wine and some olives, but from what I’ve seen, the food looks absolutely brilliant.
