““Eric & Charlotte’s wine selection brings together some of the best wines from Europe... easy drinking French table wine to the finest bubbles!””
— Spirits —
We pride ourselves on stocking a fabulous range of Artisan Gins, many from the Highlands of Scotland where the botanicals are rich and diverse, but also some gems from closer to home, and you can’t get closer than the wonderful Hitchin Honey Gin.
And an ever changing choice of carefully selected Single Malt Whiskey & locally brewed beers.
— WINE LIST —
In our on-going mission to produce a more ethically conscious wine list we have combined some outstanding European finds (closer to home and easier on the miles) with exceptional examples from some impressive new world organic and carbon neutral vineyards, whose low impact methods are an inspiration to sustainable viticulture.
Our in-house WSET Level 2 trained wine buff Maddy is full of knowledge & enthusiasm to share her passion for all things wine.
We’re delighted to work with the Caves de Pyrene and are always excited to learn from their expansive knowledge of natural, bio-dynamic and organic wine. Watch this space as we update you with our finds!
And over the moon to have a few firm favourites supplied by Hitchin’s very own Wee Vinoteca. Duncan’s knowledge and passion for wine is infectious and will certainly lead to more exciting gems!

Organic, Carbon Neutral & Local
Emiliana Adobe
With tremendous character and personality, Emiliana’s Organic wines are made with great respect for the environment. No pesticides are used in the vineyard, which are worked with an eye towards increasing their biodiversity.
‘The Emiliana winery firmly believes that using sustainable, organic and bio-dynamic agricultural practices results in better-balanced, healthier and more productive vineyards, which in turn results in better quality grapes and therefore better wines’

Yealands
Arguable the most ambitious family-owned vineyards enterprise in New Zealand, Yealands Estate is a showcase of innovative environmental sustainability. The wines are carefully nurtured from the vine to the bottle with low impact methods, leading edge green technologies and some very inventive thinking. Yealand’s carbon neutral winery was one of a handful in the world to have achieved (and maintained) carbonZero certification.

Ridgeview Bloomsbury
We’re thrilled to have discovered the excellent Ridgway Bloomsbury right on our very own doorstep… a sparkling British wine that in our opinion is as delicious as any Champaigne. A bottle bursting with fabulous flavour of superb quality, with an incredibly low carbon footprint!
