Noble Rot Wine Bar

The best wine-experience we've ever had, on any continent! My wife and I were on our anniversary in New Zealand, and happened to be in Wellington for a single night before catching the ferry the next morning. We heard great things about Noble Rot and their tasting menu (degustation menu), so we made our way down the alley and grabbed our outdoor table. We decided to include the wine-pairing experience with our tasting menu, and I'm so glad we did. We're fortunate to have done wine tastings all over the world - I can confidently say that Jessica at Noble Rot was the best wine-guide we've EVER had. Thoughtful, entertaining, engaging, and informative, she made us feel like we knew each wine's history, who grew the grape, how it was grown, what the weather was like that year, and how all of these things impacted its flavor. It was amazing! If you're heading to Noble Rot, go for the tasting (degustation) menu, and add in the wine-paring, especially if Jessica is working that evening! It's worth every penny for the experience.

9/22 Fantastic dinner, no wait time on this opportunity. Beautiful service and perfect food, couldn't have asked for anything different. They also had the courtesy of giving us a little aniversary treat, thanks. Going back next year. 9/21 Excellent service, atmosphere and overall experience. Food was absolutely fantastic, specially the risotto starter! Only cons was that we had to wait 30 min, even though we had a booking, for getting our table .

Fantastic dining experience. The wine selection is incredible - I love the fact the menu is 2 or 3 times larger than the food menu. Really enjoyed the atmosphere and the wait staff were lovely. I found they were great at recommending wine matches for food choices which was great for a novice like me. The food was delicious, my wife and I happily spent 2 and a half hours enjoying ourselves. We'll definitely be going back.
