Liverpool’s Manifest has been added to the prestigious Coravin Guide.
The restaurant and bar based in Baltic Triangle joins the global guide to wine-by-the-glass menus that recognises restaurants and bars with exceptional sommeliers and drinks offerings.
Championing local produce with their ingredient-led cooking from chef and co-owner Paul Durand, Manifest has become well-known for its relaxed take on fine dining, carefully curated soundtrack, and outstanding wine programme with food pairings and a weekly Coravin list from the cellar.
Their wine selection was created with food in mind, shining a spotlight on small scale producers, sustainability and craft production, with sections named after some of the team’s favourite songs from their playlist, giving a clue to their content: sparkling, draught wine, punks and heroes. Interesting and unusual natural wines are celebrated – with one section devoted entirely to emerging winemakers – alongside more traditional wines.
With over 15 years of experience in hospitality and wine, Manifest’s sommelier Karen Ford qualified through The Court of Master Sommeliers (CMS) and honed her craft at L’Enclume before joining Manifest in 2024.
Her background in restaurant management and retail provided her with deep industry knowledge, fuelling her passion to help guests discover the wines they will enjoy the most.
Manifest co-owner Charlotte Jones said: “We’re thrilled to be included in the Coravin Guide.
“It’s a great recognition of our team’s hard work and passion for wine, but it also feels like a nod to how much incredible growth Liverpool’s wine scene has had in recent years.
“There’s so much talent here shaping a welcoming and exciting wine culture, and we’re proud to be part of it.”
