About
Our Story
Vault Aperitivo is a modern aperitivo distillery specialising in vermouth and botanical aperitif led spirits.
Vault was originally founded by Dan Joines as Vault Vermouth in 2018, starting life in Sorella, a cosy neighbourhood Italian restaurant in London which Dan co-founded in 2018.
Vault was inspired by multiple trips across Europe and a love for aperitivo and the aperitif, something we just don't do right in the UK.
In early 2022 Maire & Max Chater (previously founders of Victory London Distillery) joined Vault to relaunch as Vault Aperitivo, pooling together the teams experience and shared love for all things aperitivo.
​
In August 2022 the team launched Chater's, a cafe and aperitivo bar in Saffron Walden, with the distillery located right next door.
​
A bustling space, theres always something going on, from specialty coffee and homemade bakes in the morning, afternoon aperitivo, daily fresh pasta for lunch and dinner and the buzz of a busy distillery next door.
