Vagabond, an experiential self-pour wine bar and restaurant, will debut in Nashville in late 2026, reinventing how guests discover and enjoy wine. As the founder and creative force behind the UK’s most popular and most awarded group of self-pour wine bars, Stephen Finch is recreating in the U.S. the original concept he launched in London in 2010 and introducing a new iteration of Vagabond in Nashville’s Gulch neighborhood.More Eat & Drink News
Driven by a mission to “make it fun and easy to discover new wines,” Vagabond’s self-pour model is designed for everyone from occasional wine drinkers to experienced oenophiles. Vagabond’s selection of 100 carefully curated, frequently rotating wines are intuitively grouped by style category, allowing guests to explore the world of wine by the sample, glass or bottle. Finch removed the barrier to tasting through a self-pour model he pioneered sixteen years ago in London and refined for Nashville, enabling guests to experience iconic wines and discover quirky gems at a range of price points. A passionate, knowledgeable and easygoing team will be on hand for those wanting guidance.

We want guests to feel confident trying new wines, discovering why they like what they like while enjoying a one-of-a-kind experience whether it’s a night out with friends, date night, group outings, happy hour or anything in between.”…
