Wine Bar & Wine Tasting in Lincoln
A hand-picked wine list by the glass or bottle, and regular wine tasting evenings on Water Lane.
Wine tasting in Lincoln
Our wine tasting evenings are a relaxed way to discover something new. Each tasting is hosted by our team, with a flight of carefully chosen wines, the stories behind them and plenty of time to chat, in an intimate, candlelit room with jazz in the background.
Tastings are small and popular, so tickets are sold in advance. See upcoming wine tasting events in Lincoln.

A wine bar in the heart of Lincoln
Lincoln Jazz Café is a cosy wine and cocktail bar on Water Lane. Our list is curated rather than long: crisp Italian Prosecco and Prosecco Rosé, Champagne, fresh whites such as Sauvignon Blanc, Grüner Veltliner and Cretan Assyrtiko, dry French rosé, and reds from Malbec and Rioja Crianza to Tuscan blends, most available by the glass (125ml, 175ml or 250ml) as well as by the bottle.
Ask us about the Cellar Selection and rare bottles, and pre-order Champagne or fine wine with your booking for 10% off.
Wine, platters and live jazz
Pair your wine with one of our sharing antipasti platters (pre-order with your booking, 48 hours’ notice), and time your visit with one of our live music nights.
