Our Historic Bristol Cellars

A retail presence in Bristol since 1793

Come and visit our Bristol Cellars

Averys has had a shop in Bristol since 1793. Today, you’ll find us at 9 Culver Street, a stone’s throw from our original premises on Park Street.

Come and explore our range of more than 1000 wines and step back in time as you visit the historic vaulted cellars which once housed our bottling line and blending tanks.

Don’t miss out on the tasting table, where you’ll always find a selection of wines to try. You can take a virtual tour of our cellars and shop here.

If you’re after something extra special, you’ll find the most coveted bottles in the heart of the cellars, in what we affectionately refer to as “The Cage”. Whatever you’re looking for, we’d love to show you around and help you find your perfect wines.

But shopping with Averys doesn’t end with buying wine, there’s a lot more we can help you with. Whether you’re looking for a unique venue for a party, a wedding gift list, free glass loan or wine tastings, we’ll be happy to help. Pop in for a chat or call us on 01179 214 146.

Hire our historic Bristol Cellars

Come and join us in our fantastic historic vaulted cellars for a unique tasting experience in the heart of Bristol.

We host many events throughout the year open to customers (please see our upcoming monthly tastings) but if you would like to hire the cellars for your own private event then please get in touch.

We can run private wine tasting events for 25 to 70 people offering a variety of different themes. Starting at just £30 per head, your personal tasting will include a glass of Champagne on arrival and a great selection of wines. You could focus on a preferred grape variety or country, allowing you to discover your new favourite style.

Alternatively, add a bit of competition to the evening with our Blind Tasting Competition, where each team will need to guess the grape variety, country and price from our descriptions. Don’t worry, it’s a lot easier than it sounds! And every member of the winning team will take home a bottle of wine.

Consider yourself a connoisseur? Why not upgrade your tasting to an evening of fine wine with a selection of high-end gems from around the world, starting at only £40 per head.

If you want to make the evening something a little extra special, then why not use our Cellars as an intimate setting for a dinner with a large group of friends or something a bit different for your next works party. Enjoy a specially prepared dinner cooked on the premises by McBaile Catering and a brief introduction on wine tasting with specifically selected wines to match each course. This is a great way to enjoy an evening of food and wine.

It’s not just about wine tasting, our Cellars are a great venue for hosting your own event and are available to simply hire, allowing you to be as creative as you like! From only £400, the room is yours from 12pm to 12am for your own private party, film screening, book launch, or conference.

Please call our Customer tastings manager on 078 258 782 56 or pop into the cellars to discuss available dates and your individual requirements.
