“What a gem of a place! We visited Couplings Wine Bar for my girlfriend’s birthday and honestly couldn’t recommend it enough. Anita was absolutely fab and made us feel so warm and welcome from the moment we arrived. The charcuterie boards were outstanding — we’ve genuinely never seen anything like them before! The wine selection was fantastic too, all in such a lovely setting in the beautiful town of Ashbourne. A perfect birthday visit and those amazing boards were such a bonus. We’ll definitely be back!”
