The store has moved from 16 Williamson Avenue to 23 Williamson Avenue.
The new store covers not one but two levels. The top level is where you’ll find the top-selling products from our old store. It’s a great space, super convenient and easy to pop in and grab your favourite wine, beer, spirit or non-alcoholic beverage. It’s also on this level that you’ll find the beer fridge, full of all the packs of beer you’d expect to find. We are delighted with the space upstairs and can’t wait for warmer weather to arrive so we can welcome you on the back deck for a tasting.
The area downstairs is super exciting and where all the magic is. There is an internal staircase that leads you down into a mecca for wines, craft beers and fine spirits. The walls are lined with cabinets brimming with the very best wines from around the world. It’s a carefully curated selection that is well laid out and will take any wine lover many an afternoon to explore.
Alongside that there is a fine spirit collection that boasts an impressive assortment of single malts. Turn the corner and there’s a mecca of craft beers. Upstairs is where the packs of beer live, downstairs it’s all about craft. You’ll find the craft beers here carefully presented by type, with all well sign posted. When you then turn around, you see the growler station that was purpose built for this site. We currently have Garage Project’s Talk to the Hand and Behemoth’s Scotchy Scotch on tap, with more kegs to tap.
In the middle of all of these products you’ll find a tasting room. This is where our Grey Lynn Wine Club ran its first tasting in August, an evening all about Bordeaux. Next up is Mills Reef in September (bookings can be made instore or on our website).
There’s also a Craft Beer Club. The first event in August – Black Sands, a local Piha brewery. The dates and details for September onwards are all up online. Come along and join us for a Craft Beer Club event, they are so much fun.
Now to the practical question – where do I park? There is a parking area right behind the new store at its lower level, with the access just off Scanlan Street. You can access the store from this level or from the street entrance off Williamson Avenue. (LIZ WHEADON)
