Amphora

This is the best wine bar in Cambridge. Very knowledgable. Great wine. Sensibly priced. Great glasses. And very welcoming.

Amphora has created a really lovely community. As well as having an incredible selection of wines, Amphora also organises talks and wine tastings. If you don’t know much about different types of wines, you’ll learn more every time you visit! A great place to relax, enjoy wine, and meet interesting people.

Excellent wine shop! With a very knowledgeable (like encyclopedia masters level) owner, and varied selection. It may seem small but there are gems from all bits of the world. Wander in, i highly recommend it. If you have an opportunity, go to a wine tasting, it's one of the most enjoyable wine related things i've probably done.

I popped in to get a couple of interesting bottles for a friend’s birthday and ended up staying for an hour. Cong’s knowledge is phenomenal and she’s more than happy to share it. As it was quiet, I was able to enjoy a small flight of three fabulous wines, which Cong let me taste blind. Although, I did not get them all right; all were delicious.There was then a fantastic wine selection to pick from and Cong talked me through the options: even suggesting a wine she does not stock as she cannot beat Waitrose on price: a refreshingly honest approach. I will definitely be back again soon.

Hands down the best wine bar in Cambridge and probably much beyond; supremely knowledgeable and helpful owner, excellent and large selection of partly highly unusual wines. Each visit a voyage of discovery, never disappointed. Can't recommend highly enough.

Very special place for wine in Cambridge with a superb, excellent and charming sommelier! Quirky selection of unreserved wines from underrated places at a fair price. On top, you can get to meet very lovely people there in a nice community!

Fantastic little wine shop. Don't be worried if you aren't a wine officianado, the lady will help you out and get some nice wines for you to try based on your pallette. I personally like sweet wines and I got a good selection to try including one off the menu. Small selection of snacks available. I loved the sweet ice wine, it was incredible! Will be back.

This business goes far above & beyond a typical wine shop.

This is LITERALLY my favorite wine tasting experience that I've had anywhere in the world.We stumbled upon this fantastic wine shop on our way to dinner one night - there were 3 of us with varying levels of knowledge and appreciation for wine.
