Who we are

As an independent Yorkshire business, our team of friendly and knowledgeable wine enthusiasts specialises in improving the quality of everyone’s wine-life. We are keen to make good quality, enjoyable wines accessible to all, here and via our stores in Harrogate and Collingham. Buy wines, beers and spirits to take home, or sit and enjoy our drinks by the glass.

Our new wine bar and shop opened on Oxford Street in the centre of Harrogate in December 2025. We're bringing the best of our wine and whisky know-how to a relaxed and welcoming new location. The decor will not disappoint - from the upcycled wine paraphernalia chandelier to the old school library ladder used to access the top shelf wines and whiskies! With plenty to see, superb wines and whiskies to enjoy, (as well as great local beer on tap) and the warmest welcome guaranteed, we invite you to come along for a real treat!
