Humble Grape

Humble Grape runs seven neighbourhood wine bars, restaurants and wine shops in London. It imports organic, biodynamic and low-intervention wines directly from small, family-run producers and offers 500 sustainable wines across its venues and online shop. The company also runs wine tastings, a wine discovery experience, private dining, events, a wine club and WSET education.

Customers are London diners and wine drinkers who visit the venues, plus buyers in mainland UK who order wine online for next-business-day delivery. Revenue comes from food and drink sales at the venues, online wine sales, a monthly wine club, and paid tastings and events, as described on the company website.

According to its website, the company's history dates to 2009, when founder James Dawson started hosting pop-up tastings. Venues are listed in Battersea, Bow Lane, Canary Wharf, Fleet Street, Islington, Liverpool Street and Smithfield. Current job listings include front-of-house, kitchen and management roles at Humble Grape and Vivat Bacchus venues in London.
