If you can't make a personal visit to the vineyard, order your wine from home and have it shipped to our collection point at Calais, then collect it at your leisure - free of UK taxes.
Just tell us what you have ordered and we let you know when your wine is ready for collection. It's as simple as that!
You pay the vineyard direct and there is a small storage charge when you collect your wine. Otherwise, there are no margins or mark-ups - please see Terms below.
This service is exclusive to winedrive.com members.

Although there is no legal limit to quantity, HM Customs and Excise guidelines suggest a maximum of 120 bottles per traveling person.
