Welcome to Shaftesbury Wines

Half way up the High Street in the picturesque north Dorset town, Shaftesbury Wines is an independent treasure-trove of real wines from small producers. You will also find a good range of rare Malt Whisky, Brandy, Grappa, Eau de vie, Port, fine hand-rolled cigars and local beer & cider.

The range is constantly changing with new finds being added and squeezed in, where space permits.  You won’t find industrially, mass-produced supermarket brands. You will find expert, friendly guidance in a non intimidating environment where you can discover something new and delicious.  I feel it is important to have drunk each of the wines, so I can offer a personal opinion as well as the knowledge which comes from 30 years working with wine; I love my work!

The shop is now open Mon-Sat 10am-5pm.  If you cannot make it during these hours then do please ring and I will be happy to arrange a “private viewing”. 

I am happy to accept orders by email or ‘phone for local delivery or collection.

If you live within about 10 miles or so and are too busy to get to the shop, ring your order through and I’ll drop it off on the way home.  This will normally be sometime between 5:30 and 6pm.  It’s no bother so there is no minimum and no charge.

Planning an event?
Why not have a wine tasting evening for charity or just for fun?

We can put on an entertaining and informative wine tasting evening.  We can provide the wine, glasses and the knowledge; you just have to provide the venue and the people.  The only cost is for the wine you drink on the night.

Booking now being taken for 2012.
