“Vinopolis was a commercial visitor attraction in Southwark, London, England, operated by Wineworld, London that presented the subject of wine and oenology through exhibits and wine tastings. Vinopolis closed permanently at the end of 2015. Vinopolis was located at Bankside, to the east of Southwark Bridge and close to London Bridge on the southern side of the River Thames. There was an attached restaurant, Cantina Vinopolis, and wine was available for sale at the attached Laithwaites Wine Store. Vinopolis spanned 2.5 acres (10,000 m2) and was devoted to the world of wine, including its history, development and taste. Within the complex was also a specialist whisky retailer The Whisky Exchange which offered a range of several hundred whiskies and other spirits for sale. The Whisky Exchange also organised various whisky tasting events throughout the year at Vinopolis.” (Vinopolis, Wikipedia)
