- kelso111London, United Kingdom38 contributionsJordan River Rosè all day 🍷❤️So glad we travelled across Amman to do this! The staff, and our wine guide, was the best thing about this place! He was really knowledgeable about Jordan River wines - and funny too! We look forward to bringing a bottle of New Zealand Pinot Noir over to share with them! The food and the wine pairing (that JR Rose 🤤🍷❤️) was a highlight for our Amman city trip - we hope to be back soon!Visited September 2023Travelled with friendsWritten 23 September 2023

Our sommelier was wonderful and taught us so much about the history of this family winery. The windows were great. We enjoyed the location and personal attention we received. Highly recommend this experience when in Amman. The cheese platter was delicious as was the house made wine sauce.Visited October 2023Travelled with friendsWritten 22 October 2023

Visited with friends and tried some of the huge variety of Jordanian wines they have to offer. The service was great but the red wine had lots of sediment, made me feel quite bad. Think they need to look at how they store wine and maybe get some expert advise on what is good wine. Better to offer 5 good wines rather than 100 wines where some bad ones can put your customers off. Overall a 2 star. Could be much better. Food and cheese board was great though.

I visited the place in January 2020 with friends and was very impressed. The cheese platters and nick nacks were great and the place is very cosy but I have to admit the wine selection is limited only to JR brand which I’m not very fond of really. I wish they would add a section of wines other than their own.

When planning my trip to Jordan, I was intrigued by the idea of wine made in the middle of the desert, so I considered a must the tasting session at JR The Wine Experience.
This was my first touch with the wine produced in Jordan with little prior knowledge about it and without knowing what expectations to set.
I definitely have to mention the kindness and friendliness of the persons we met there. Qussai's enthusiasm turned our tasting into an unforgettable experience, and the acknowledges and professionalism of the sommelier represent a promise of improving and evolving the quality of Jordan wine.
Don't judge, but admire the courage of making wine in the basalt dessert in a challenging terroir. It is a brave begging which needs a lot of improvement, but we really enjoyed the moments spent with such opened people who accept and embrace all opinions because they do want to become a name on the wine market.
Their labels look great, and the wines we tasted were very different from what we knew about each grape.
Actually we were blown away by how different many of the varietals were and by the way they chose to make some of them like using new or used barrels for Chardonnay but also for the red ones aged a long time. The Riesling was drier and the rose was interesting, diferent from other roses, but I would suggest losing the pint of Chardonnay added because it gives the wine weight instead of freshness. The limited edition Shiraz is very nice and well-balanced.
It was a pleasant evening and nice experience.
Good luck JR team!

This was a really enjoyable and laid back place to spend the evening! We loved the atmosphere and the way it's decorated to create an intimate and cosy feel. We ended up doing the sommelier experience and Hazar helped guide us through it and worked with us to make sure we got to try a nice variety of delicious wines. She was amazing!
We'll definitely be returning the next time we're in Jordan

Head Chef Mr Saleh was amazing. Other than being so welcoming, he explained to us what was special about the heritage, the history of the Haddad family. The origin of the family business, as its start from the desert to obe of the beat wine producers in the Middle East.
We will be coming back for 3reasons:
-the quality of the wines (ex limited edition red Shiraz 2012)
-the quality of the food(dont miss out on the steak and the grilled salmon)
-the wonderful chef saleh: took care of us during our short visit…we did not feel the 3hours spent at the place
Regards and see u soon

The wine tasting was informative & professionally presented....a lovely variety and varied flavours. The bruschetta were the best we had ever tasted.

JR Wine Experience and Tour was Excellent. The atmosphere was very inviting and the staff were super friendly!! Our server John was very knowledgeable and passionate about his job. He offered us a tour when we first sat down and we gladly accepted his offer. He explained about the vineyards and the various wines we were tasting. We stayed and had a very tasty pepperoni pizza with our wines. An A+ experience!

Fantastic wine bar in the middle of Amman. Local vineyard, albeit up in northern Jordan. Wines are served at W hotel (our hotel) and Royal Jordanian airlines. Try the flight, gives you a great experience of the difference wines they have. Hazar who served us and talked us through the wine is awesome and so lovely, knowledgeable and very proud of the wines. Must do if you love wines and want to try local good Jordanian wines. We didn’t eat there (ate earlier) but wished we had, looked and smelt amazing!

This was recommended to me by a friend that I should try the experience while in Amman as she knew I really liked wine. From the beginning it was a lovely atmosphere. We were greeted by Qussai who brought us into the wine cellar and explained the history of the wine industry in Jordan and the difference the climate brings to the wines from the country. We chose the reserva wine experience selecting three reds, Shiraz, Tempranillo and Cabernet Sauvignon. All the wines were amazing and we paired them with the gourmet cheese board. I would definitely recommend it to any friend visiting Amman!

Hazav showed us around in the cellar. She explained the story of the winery, told a few thoughts about the selection. We chose the sommelier wine experience and she led our way through the finest of her choice. Wines are very good, kitchen is superb, Hazav is the perfect host! I say it is a must stop for anyone in Amman. The wines, the service, the atmosphere just all make it a perfect evening! Special thanks for Hazav for everything,
