Glengarry Wines - Thorndon
About the Business
Welcome to Glengarry Wines - Thorndon, the flagship store located at 53 Hutt Rd in Wellington, New Zealand. As an establishment that focuses on food, liquor, and being a point of interest, we offer a unique experience that caters to all your vinous needs.
Our spacious store is designed to accommodate wine tastings and large events, with a capacity of up to 60 people. We take pride in our extensive collection of craft beers, which can be found in our well-stocked beer fridge. Additionally, our fine wine cellar boasts the largest range of premium fine wines from around the world that Wellington has ever seen.
When it comes to shelf space, we have ample room to showcase our full range of premium wines and spirits. Whether you're looking for a fine Bordeaux or a smooth whiskey, our friendly and knowledgeable team, led by Phil and Meredith, will be more than happy to assist you.
We are excited to announce that we have just landed the exceptional 2020 Bordeaux vintage, the final installment in this century's first great trilogy of vintages before the challenging 2021. These carefully selected wines will be featured in a formal tasting event hosted by Liz Wheadon. This is a fantastic opportunity to try before you commit to purchase, as you'll be able to sample wines from different appellations and growths in Bordeaux.
In addition to Bordeaux, we are also thrilled to present an exceptional selection of Grower Champagnes. These small family-owned houses produce limited quantities of unique and character-filled wines from their own vineyards. With popular names such as Henri Giraud, Jacquart, and Lilbert, these Champagnes are highly sought after and becoming increasingly difficult to find. Secure your tickets now for the chance to taste the Non-Vintage offerings from each Grower, as well as something special from Henri Giraud.
Don't miss our very special tasting event hosted by Irene Calderón, Vega Sicilia Sales Manager. Vega Sicilia is renowned for its distinguished history and top cuvée ÚNICO, which was the first great wine of Spain. Alongside ÚNICO, you'll also have the opportunity to taste Valbuena, Alion, Pintia, and the wines from Macán in Rioja. This is a unique chance to experience the excellence of Vega Sicilia's wines.
At Glengarry Wines - Thorndon, we have a team of experts who are passionate about wine. Meet Philip, our Glengarry Legend and Wine Expert, who will entertain you with his humor and vast knowledge. Thomas, our resident jack of all trades, is always ready to tackle any difficult questions you may have. Duncan, our all-round good boy, brings enthusiasm and a love for wine, spirits, and beer. And Marcel, our token tall man, has rekindled his love for wine after years of looking after his children.

Reviews
"Excellent & cheerful staff. Good neighborhood bottle shop"
"Great wine range, good promos and responsive knowledgeable and friendly staff Makes my style - ordering on line and pick up - very easy."
"They’ve lost the plot big time. Had a delivery; it was corked. Emailed them and received an immediate response saying they would follow-up. Never heard from them again. Placed another order and received an acknowledgement. Then nothing. Called them and was told “customer service aren’t taking calls at the moment, send an email”. Send email; no reply. Check order status to find it says “store pick-up” despite a delivery fee showing on the paperwork. Still no delivery but I’ve noticed my card hasn’t been charged. Clearly they do not want my business."
"Great variety and good value. I went here to find an obscure single malt for a recent festive occasion and I was definitely not disappointed. There's not much dedicated parking, but it's not really a problem as the main road outside usually has doors available, especially when leaving town on the way home. At this end of town, it's the only place with the variety I want when looking for a gift."
"If planning a party or starting a wine cellar, begin here. A much broader selection of wines from every far reach on NZ and long across the world, you’ll expand your reach quickly. Bubbles is very affordable, especially ahead of the Christmas buzz - and even includes several Zero Dosage / Brut Naturel options for the sugar free. Head further down the back to find excellent ranges and qualities of wines chilled for drinking or stowed for impending cellaring. Then as you round on the till marvel at the spirits collections with vast ranges of whisky (slightly more expensive than you’ll find online) but with exotic options like Thompson’s White Malt whisky in tasting size. Not sure there was a beer section - regardless, it was refreshing for a Wellington establishment to focus on wine over crafts beers. Go here and plan on taking your time!"
