100% Guarantee

We confidently guarantee every bottle we sell: if a wine fails to satisfy, for whatever reason, we'll arrange to collect it and refund you or replace the wine. We understand it can be tricky to order wine just by a description, which is why we have our 100% guarantee. If you aren't happy with a bottle don't pay for it, just contact us to let us know.

Orders

Can I cancel an order?

Can I return my order?

If your wine is damaged or you have received the wrong wine, please let us know. If you want to return for other reason, there may be a cost associated with this. Wine must be returned to us in the same packaging you received it.

Orders

What I do if I’ve received the wrong wine, or my case is damaged?

Your wine should reach you in perfect condition – and be exactly what you ordered. If you haven’t received it within the expected timeframe, or something isn’t right please contact us.

Orders

How do I track my order?

Your wine will be delivered by Chestnut Logistics or our courier company.  

We will send you an email once your order has been dispatched.

Collection

Can I collect my wine from one of the Big Houses?

Yes, you can – there is no extra charge for collection.

You can already collect from The Old Bridge (once The Maltings opens later in 2024 you will be able to arrange collection from there too).

Either order direct from the Big Houses - you can do this in-person or by calling them - or order online and opt for collection. Your wine should be available for collection the following day – we will contact you when it is ready for you to pick up.

Can I make up my own wine selection?

Yes – you can choose from our online store and create your own case. To qualify for free delivery you must spend over £100.

Canapes can be ordered 24 hours in advance. They cost £8.95 per person.
