Highbury Vintners has always been our favourite local wine shop (great selection, excellent staff), and they also recently supplied beer, wine and spirits for our wedding. Tom was very attentive to what we were looking for, and set up a tasting for wines based on our budget and menu. All the wines were great, which made it difficult to choose which ones to have on the day! Our guests were extremely impressed with the quality of all the alcohol provided, and the team’s knowledge of quantities required was invaluable. They also delivered the order to the wedding venue on the day, which went seamlessly and was a massive help to us. Overall, the whole experience from initial consultation, to tasting, to ordering, to delivery, was absolutely perfect. This ended up being one of the most fun parts of wedding planning for us, and we would highly recommend using Highbury Vintners to others organising large events. More...

I love Highbury Vintners. They have a great selection of wine and their staff are friendly and knowledgable. Unfortunately they are no longer my neighbourhood wine store, but their delivery service is excellent and speedy!

I've bought online and in store and both methods have been a pleasure.
In store there is a great selection of expensive and not very expensive at all wines.
The people that work there have a great knowledge and were able to direct me to what I wanted from me just describing the label on the bottle ('it has a tree on it..')
The website is super easy to use and I received my bottles of wine within 2 days despite not living in London.
Highly recommended for everyone. From people who know their wines to those who only know what the label looks like on their favourite bottle of red!

If you like wine this is the shop to visit, knowledgable staff and a great selection. I usually buy a few favourites and get the staff to recommend a few more, I've never been disappointed.
Oh yes and their online delivery service is great too, ordered around midday yesterday, now live in Kent near Ashford and wine arrived today.
