This new London attraction will definitely put a big smile on any wine lover’s face. The Vinopolis, known as “The City of Wine”, is a 2.25 acre paradise for wine enthusiasts and tourists (and alcoholics too). Opened in the summer of 1999, it is by far the first and only attraction of its kind that you will find anywhere in the world. And with Great Britain being the largest wine exporter in the world, it’s just proper for the country to come up with this one of a kind showcase right in the nation’s capital. Located just by the South Bank of the River Thames near the Shakespearian Globe Theatre, The Vinopolis, which is definitely one of London’s finest attractions to offer, is very quickly becoming a world famous tourist destination. Locals and tourists alike come in droves to get a taste of some of the best wines that London has to offer. There are about 40 wine tasting stations and over 200 exquisite wines to savour. These wines can also be purchased either by the bottle or by the case. Shipping and delivery can also be arranged since it can be assumed that you wouldn’t want to drag the extra weight along on your way back home. Other available miscellaneous items are a wide array of wine accessories ranging from splendid wine glasses, to novelty corkscrews. For the knowledge hungry person, various presentations and commentaries on the wine-producing regions of the world can be viewed and listened to throughout the area. And if you’re the type who likes to take high-speed tours, Vespa motor scooters are available to take an exciting ride through the vineyards. Don’t drink and drive though. Next time you’re in London, make it a point to experience the pleasure, luxury and fun at The Vinopolis. It’s open from 10am to 3:30pm daily.
