Online at Last! - Ok, so we haven't quite finished our online shop yet, but at least we are moving in the right direction with our dedicated online offers.

Alternatively you can use our online contact form to let us know that you're interested and we'll send you an e-mail to let you know when the events will be.
Meet the winemakers at our Anniversary Tasting: We are delighted to announce that Philip Shaw will be attending our Anniversary Tasting and showing a selection of his superb wines from Orange, New South Wales. Also coming on the evening will be Sara Fogarty from Man O'War on Waiheke Island. These wines have been a huge success since landing last October and we are thrilled that Sara will be here to show a few new comers to the range.Â

Friday 14th May - Anniversary Tasting
To mark our 4th Birthday we are delighted to throw a bumper tasting of around 100 wines (Final line up to be confirmed) from across our portfolio. Our key suppliers will be on hand to chat about their wines and we will even have a few winemakers present to show their own wines, (contact the shop for more details). This is always a fascinating and relaxed evening, not to mention tremendous value, and is always a sell out so this year we have moved to the Corn Exchange to accommodate more people. We do expect to sell out again though, so do please secure your place by booking at the shop, by telephone on (01305) 266734 or by e-mail on sales@dorsetwine.co.uk.

(Please ask about our special minibus rates from the shop).
