We can’t wait for this tasting with the lovely Ian We can’t wait for this tasting with the lovely Ian. What he doesn’t know about South African wine isn’t worth knowing. WINE TASTING W/ IAN HAGGIE THURSDAY 16TH APRIL 6:30PM-8:30PM So a couple of weeks ago Ian came into the shop to showcase some new South African producers he is working with and all I can say is WOW! It took me right back to when proper South African wines were first arriving in the UK back in the 90’s. it was a pure delight to sample some of these incredible producers and not from the big wineries. All of these wines have a story (Even Ian worked in one of the wineries as his first job in the wine trade). A fun and informative evening where we will sample some of the most sublime wines available at the moment. £35 per ticket TO BOOK Call us 01935 815544 or email shop@vineyardsofsherborne.co.uk
WINE TASTING W/ FRAN ADDIS & OUR HANNAH THURSDAY WINE TASTING W/ FRAN ADDIS & OUR HANNAH THURSDAY 9TH APRIL 6PM-8PM (this tasting may overrun slightly due to the amount of wines being sampled) Fran Addis has been working in the wine trade for the last 7 years and has always loved helping source new wines with Hannah. 2026 we have already found 6 new wines from the Loire region together. Hannah spent most of her childhood holidays in the Loire and has always had a soft spot for the chalkiness and clean styles found there. During the evening you will sample some of the best examples found in the UK right now, we did struggle to only choose 6 wines so we have gone slightly mad but hey what could be better? More wine + more grape varieties = more fun. This tasting has been promised for ages as it really holds a special place in Hannah’s heart.

Ciao Emiliano @cielo.wine.italy 🍷 🥂 A lovely mini Ciao Emiliano @cielo.wine.italy 🍷 🥂 A lovely mini portfolio tasting today @vineyards_wine of some rather delicious, easy drinking, well-balanced Italian wines, made from a winery built upon family traditions since 1908. We’ve worked with Cielo for years. New to the @bancroftwines listings, it was great to be introduced to a few newbies alongside recent vintages of old favourites. A tasting for our customers is now live on our website too — we can’t leave you out! Sherborne | Dorset | Wine Shop
Such a great tasting today with Ian from @rakq.tra Such a great tasting today with Ian from @rakq.trade — South African wine specialists — every wine delivered on flavour and it’s fair to say you’ll be seeing some new bottles on the shelf. Some iconic producers, quality low intervention winemaking, and outstanding craft. So many standouts but a very interesting little skin contact white blend of Chenin, Roussanne, Fernao Pires and Viognier in a cool little crown capped bottle that is MADE for indie wine communities, a few new Chenins that will genuinely knock your socks off, and a Bordeaux style red blend that knew how to make an entrance in the glass. Yeee-haw!

We deliver locally and nationally – a delivery from us will make you do a happy dance! T&Cs apply.
