NAILSWORTH is set to welcome the region’s first ever luxury ‘wine barn’ this summer. 

Vinotopia Wine - following from its ‘Wine Box’ store on the Nailsworth Mills Estate - is expanding with the creation of a large-scale wine and farm shop destination just a few doors down.

Work has started on the 300 sq. ft Wine Barn, which will sit alongside Nailsworth Garden Centre in Avening Road,

Marrying a luxury wine and alcohol retail destination, seating and a farm shop stocked to the brim with artisan produce, the Barn will feature over 400 specialist varieties of wines, spirits and beers, as well as charcuterie, cheeses and locally-sourced delicacies to enjoy.

The Barn will also play host to regular events and pop-ups, teaming up with local and specialist wine/ spirit suppliers for tasting events, as well as regular festival-style pop-up dining dates with local, artisan food trucks.

The Barn, which is being built from the ground-up, is currently in construction stages with completion planned for late summer 2023.

Positioned next door to Nailsworth Garden Centre, the Barn will boast light, bright interiors that marries a rustic chic barn vibe with a ‘polished industrial’ look.

With a capacity of up to 100 people on the lower level of the Barn for exclusive-hire events, the space will combine multiple purposes - housing over 400 lines of wine, spirit, beers, cigars and sparkling wines - plus a jam-packed farm shop run by Brown and Green. 

Andy Cole, managing director of Vinotopia Wine, said: “Our small-but-perfectly-formed Wine Box has enjoyed fantastic success here in Nailsworth over the past couple of years.

"We’re thrilled to be able to expand on this with this magnificent new structure located just across the way from where we currently sit.

"We wanted to create a space that could not only house the varieties of wine, spirits and beer that we’re passionate about helping people to discover, but could offer more than that, such as a foodie destination in which to meet up with friends, discover some seriously tasty new tipples and indulge in the finest fodder that our locale has to offer."
