Private Dining Rooms

Overview

Vinoteca Marylebone’s brand new private dining room is the perfect venue for all this season’s celebrations.  Nestled in the heart of Marylebone’s vibrant Portman Village, and only a short walk from Marble Arch, Vinoteca’s private dining room offers guests a unique and completely private space to relax and enjoy the food and wine of one of London’s best wine bars.

Equipped with a private kitchen, diners can enjoy an intimate meal prepared exclusively by your own chef and served in style by your own dedicated wait staff.  The room also features a stunning ‘wall of wine’ and looks on to Vinoteca’s wine cellar, creating an elegant and atmospheric space, perfect for both private and corporate events.

Guests can select from variety of menus offered exclusively in the private room, ranging from informal platters to feasting menus.  Guests can choose from two three course menu options priced at £30 and £35 a head and we also offer a more informal share platters menu perfect for a standing drinks reception or following a tutored wine tasting.  We are also very pleased to offer our great value Christmas Menu this December priced at £32.50 per person.  Our menus always use seasonal produce and we are happy to help you find the perfect wine from our extensive wine list of over 280 wines to complement your menu of choice.     

The room can comfortably accommodate up to 36 diners for a seated event and up to 40 for a standing drinks receptions and operates with a minimum spend of £500 (excluding service).
