About Regional Wines

At Regional Wines, we are so much more than just your local beverage purveyors. In store or online, you’ll discover a hub of people, passion and education around the marvellous craft of fine drinks and, of course, a huge and diverse range of wine, beer and spirits.

Regional Wines was established by the late great Grant Jones back in 1987. Originally it was a wholesale distributor of wines to Wellington restaurants, but Grant was a man with a real entrepreneurial flair and established the shop we currently occupy in 1990 adding beer and spirits to the range.

Since then, Regional Wines has become one of New Zealand’s largest and best independent liquor businesses, keeping our regulars quenched with our extensive instore and online range and weekly tasting events. Our team of beverage experts know a hefeweizen from a witbier, and it’s likely that if you’re after something obscure and are struggling to find it anywhere else, we’re your ticket.

There really is something for everyone at Regional Wines, so if you're a connoisseur, collector or just after your weekly quaffer, you’re in good hands. We also offer a range of services, from on-premise distribution to function catering to monthly beverage subscriptions. Come in store to meet our team and find out who to talk to for specific drinks knowledge and check out our events page to see what tastings we have coming up.
