Local, independent, family-run wine merchant

Ashby Wines is an independent wine merchant based in the town of Ashby de la Zouch, UK. We are a family-run business, bringing together our English and South African traditions. With over 26 years’ experience in the wine trade, we are driven by our enthusiasm to find our customers a range of quality wines (and other drinks!) to enjoy. We are honoured to work in an exciting and vibrant industry and hope to continue for many more years.

We were fed up with the mass-produced, generic wine that fills shelves around the UK – its time to share our love of wine less ordinary.
