Wine Cellar at The Retreat |Enjoy fine wine with Lay & Wheeler
Lay & Wheeler was founded in 1854, and remains one of Britain’s longest standing fine wine merchants.
Today, their dynamic team works with over 600 wine producers in fine wine regions around the world to bring their latest releases and library stock to their beloved customers.
Their buying team spends half the year on the road, tasting these wines and discovering new ones.
They sell wine in bond, for storage in their bonded cellar, or duty paid, for delivery to you to drink or store at home.
Whether you intend to buy wines en primeur, on first release, to drink in the future, or intend to buy wines that are ready to drink now, they have many options available.
They specialise in Bordeaux, Burgundy, Rhone, Loire, Champagne, Italy and South Africa, and also feature select wines from Austria, Australia, Germany, New Zealand, Portugal, Spain, and the USA, amongst others.
Fundamental to their business is their approach to service.
They aim to offer the best experience of buying, storing, selling or enjoying fine wine, and do everything they can to ensure they make this as easy and enjoyable for their customers as possible.
