Wine Bar

Est has created a beautiful new space that exudes warmth and
life. The Martinborough restaurant's wine bar has been
redesigned, and opened in February.

The atmosphere falls between rustic and sleek in this polished
hideaway set in the 19th Century former Post Office on the town's
square. Alongside the familiar restaurant surrounds with the open
fire, the new wine bar offers a fine place to assuage your
appetite.

During the day it has a casual elegance and by night it exudes
class and style, with sumptuous textures setting an attitude of
quiet sophistication. The evening can be spent tucked into one of
the intimate booths of supple charcoal and burnished wood. The
bar has been designed with a palpable energy and passion.
Frequenters settle in to these surrounds to enjoy a select range of
cocktails, wine and an innovative range of tasting plates.

The design of the cocktail list, purely inspired by the classics of
the 1950's, is for that time of day when you kick back and relax
with a martini or Manhattan.

Imbibers are encouraged by the quirky but friendly staff to
explore the extensive and well chosen wine list of over 150
wines, with many offered by the taste, glass, or bottle. Flights of
local wines are served in quartets of Pinot Noir, or Sauvignon
Blanc and Chardonnay. Usually elusive cellar selections and
reserve wines are offered by the taste or glass. This unique wine
tasting experience offers the the knowledge and wines selected
by est's Restaurant sommilier, Jeremy O'Brien.

The bar menu is built for cavorting with wine. The wine list is
particularly enjoyable when explored and paired with the bold
and deliberate flavors of the Tasting plates and platters by head
chef, Steven Carson.
