Tucked beneath the historic Derby House on the Isle of Man, Charlotte de la Tremoille’s Wine Bar is a hidden gem where guests can slow down, relax and savour an evening of good wine. Named after the indomitable 17th-century Countess of Derby, this intimate cellar bar channels her spirit with a blend of quiet sophistication and bold character.
The space is designed for lingering. With exposed stone walls, warm lighting and plush seating, it’s the kind of place where conversations stretch into the night, as you slowly make your way through the extensive menus. The wine list is hand-picked and thoughtfully curated, featuring bottles from both classic regions and lesser-known vineyards. Alongside the wines, you’ll find a selection of craft beers and cocktails that are mixed with precision and flair.
Whether you’re popping in for a pre-dinner drink or settling in for a long evening, Charlotte’s is all about atmosphere. Be sure to take the time to explore the list, ask questions, and try something new. And while the vibe is relaxed, the attention to detail is anything but casual.
During the day, Charlotte’s also offers a cosy cafe, with a menu packed full of light bites and freshly made pastries. Tuck into the likes of bacon and brie or pastrami and turkey filled bagels, alongside coffees with beans supplied from Girls Who Grind Coffee. Elsewhere, sweet bites include bacon and maple croissants or cheesecake pots, the perfect pairing for a freshly brewed cup of tea.
Charlotte’s is a quiet refuge from the bustle of everyday life, offering a sense of occasion without pretension. Whether you’re a local or a visitor, it’s the kind of spot you’ll want to return to, again and again.
