Wine bar with French-inspired decor, natural wines, and French snacks
"Newly opened Veraison Wines brings a little slice of old-school France to a Camberwell High Street. Dark wood-paneling and a bric-a-brac approach to decor create a space somewhat lost in time but perfect for casual drinking of lovely wines. Without question, the wine list here features mainly wines from London-based importer Winemaker’s Club due to a bit of London natural-wine dynasticism: owner Patryjca Lorek’s husband owns the import company and Farringdon wine bar. Veraison has a typical neighbourhood vibe that slots charmingly into the tapestry of Camberwell. Here, parties of friends old and new descend on low tables and bar seats of the intimate space. On a sunny day, enjoy a bottle of Ismael Gozalo’s Nieva York verdejo pet nat for seriously citrusy refreshment. For a mid-week treat, tuck into one of the elegant Coteaux Champenois roses from Olivier Horiot: complex and ethereal still rose from Champagne. Classic French bar snacks are made better by exceptional bread from new-neighbours Frog bakery. With plenty to choose from and only a £12 corkage fee on all wines (plus no-corkage Wednesdays), Veraison stands as a tempting new space for Camberwell residents and outsiders alike." - Nathalie Nelles
"A newcomer in SE5 that forms part of the area's growing wine-bar scene; it sits just opposite the incoming second outpost of a well-known SE15 wine bar." - James Hansen
"Opened by wine professional Patryjca Lorek, this neighbourhood wine shop and bar on Camberwell’s Church Street draws on serious hospitality pedigree—Lorek previously worked at grower champagne bar Bubbledogs and Covent Garden’s 10 Cases. The compact space, which launched the weekend of 9 April, features a simple wooden bar with green-leather-topped stools, lit-up shelving beneath the windows and a neon bunch of purple grapes to attract passers-by. The opening also links it to a family wine dynasty, as Lorek’s husband John directs a well-regarded importer, retail shop and bar." - James Hansen
