Less than a year and a half since opening, The Cellar by Wine Monkey, Chippenham’s local wine bar known for its exceptional selection of sustainable wines, drinks and food in a vibrant atmosphere, has been awarded the prestigious title of “Best Bar in Wiltshire” in the annual Muddy Stiletto Awards. This accolade celebrates outstanding local businesses and is a testament to the dedication and passion of Wine Monkey and its team.

Nestled in the heart of Chippenham, Wine Monkey has quickly become a favourite amongst locals and visitors alike. With a carefully curated selection of wines, beers, local ciders, artisanal cocktails, no & low options and a warm, inviting ambiance, The Cellar offers an unforgettable experience for wine lovers and casual drinkers alike.
“We are absolutely thrilled to receive this honour from Muddy Stiletto,” said Bryan Houde, owner of Wine Monkey. “This award reflects the hard work and commitment of our entire team, as well as the incredible support from our wonderful community. We strive to create a space where everyone feels welcome, and this recognition inspires us to continue doing what we love.”
The Muddy Stilettos Awards highlight the best in local businesses across various categories, with winners chosen through a combination of public votes and expert judging. Wine Monkey’s win showcases its established reputation for excellence and innovation in both the bar and craft wine scene.
To continue to live up to this achievement, Wine Monkey has an array of fantastic events planned for this winter, including guided wine tastings, cheese fondue nights, live music evenings and even a wine & paint night!
