Located on the ground floor of Dock Shed, Vagabond Canada Water offers a unique wine bar experience, perfect for a memorable private event. Specialising in English winemaking and known for its wide range of self-pour wines, Vagabond is a fully operational urban winery, with a fun, social feel.
The Canada Water site has multiple private hire spaces, suited to corporate events, wine tastings and winemaker dinners. The bar features over 100 wines by the glass, and customers can easily pour their own using a contactless system and individual tasting notes. The interactive element is great for sparking conversation between guests and creating memories. Alternatively, find a wine that you like and order it as a bottle for the table.
To bring your private dinner to life, Vagabond hosts a range of cheese and wine masterclasses. The introductory class is well-suited to casual occasions and wine novices, featuring a welcome glass of sparkling wine, guided tasting and insights into flavour profiles. For experienced wine drinkers and sophisticated events, the artisan masterclass is a more indulgent offering, with a focus on premium wines from prestigious GIs and PDOs.
Group packages are also offered for eight or more people, including a 15-minute introduction to Vagabond, and individual cards loaded with credit for use at the self-service wine machines.
A Mediterranean-inspired menu includes nibbles, small plates, and sharing boards, which are well-suited to a private dinner. Kick off with Padron peppers, Gnocco Fritto, and Gordal olives, before moving onto small plates, like Pil Pil prawns, homemade meatballs, and stuffed courgette. Larger sharing boards are on offer too, with a choice of cheese, charcuterie and Italian-style platters.
With waterside views, a spacious setting, and an award-winning wine bar experience, this is a fantastic destination for a private dinner.
