Wines worth seeking out
Mark Pardoe MW, a Master of Wine, has spent decades travelling the world's wine regions, finding the wines that most people never get the chance to try. The Wine Collection at The Cellar Door is his selection, and it is unlike anything you will find on the high street.
These are the wines Mark has brought home to us. Not exclusive, but elusive, and well worth seeking out. Every producer shares our belief that great wine begins with great stewardship, of the land, the people and the future, with a unique personality and sense of place that you won't find on ordinary shelves. With wines ranging from £20 to £50, there is something for every occasion.
The only way to taste and buy them is to come and find us. Our enomatic machine means you can explore the range before you decide, and for a small corkage fee you can take your bottle upstairs to enjoy on our sun-drenched terrace, with a pizza from the Courtyard or at a table in the Restaurant.
Come and taste for yourself. We think you'll want to stay a while.
Our new wine collection and enomatic machine will be in store from 7th June 2026.

carefully chosen,
Yours to explore
Chosen and genuinely loved by our team, The Cellar Door Shop will be home to wines that you won’t find in supermarkets or on the high street. With a genuine passion for the bottles on our shelves, our team is always on hand to help you explore the range and make a recommendation.
Our Selection Process
Our exciting new range of wines has been carefully selection by Mark Pardoe MW and Jim Birch, our Cellar Door Supervisor.
Mark Pardoe has been a Master of Wine since 1989 and is currently the Wine Director at Berry Bros. & Rudd. Needless to say, he brings both a stellar palate and an eye for discovery to the table.
Many will already have had the pleasure of meeting Jim, who has a background in wine retail and an enthusiasm for the endless discovery of new wines, styles and producers available to us.
All wines and producers chosen fit into our benchmarks for sustainable production. As such, you can expect to find wines true to the terroir that makes them, with producers taking those extra steps to:
- Maintain and improve land health with regenerative principles
- Encourage biodiversity across their estate
- Take a proactive approach to husbandry of all resources, energy and materials
- Operate in a socially responsible way, within their communities
taste before you buy
Not sure where to start? That's what we're here for.
From 7th June, our Cellar Door will be home to a regularly changing selection of wines available to taste via our enomatic machine. Come in, try something new, and let our team guide you through the range.
Details of our upcoming, dedicated tastings will be announced shortly.
The Wine Collection
Our considered collection of wines from family-owned, sustainability-focused producers around the world. Each one has been chosen because we believe in what they stand for as much as what they make.
Better still, our enomatic machine means you can taste before you buy: the best way to discover a producer you’ve never encountered before. An enomatic is a wine preservation system that keeps open bottles in perfect condition, so you can try a glass of something new without committing to a whole bottle.
We'll be revealing our full list of producers and wines ahead of our opening on 7th June. Sign up below to be the first to hear more.
Events & Masterclasses
Learn more. Taste more. Enjoy more.
From intimate producer evenings, to wine dinners, to guided masterclasses, our events programme is designed for anyone who wants to go beyond the bottle. Whether you're new to wine or deeply curious, there's always something worth coming back for.
