Ayrshire

In Person

These tours are now fully booked.

In 1994, Corney & Barrow’s Scottish operation merged with Whighams of Ayr, one of the longest-established wine merchants in the UK. As well as Whighams' residence in Academy Street in Ayr, Corney & Barrow took over the 1766-built cellars, constructed for the sole purpose of storing imported wines, ports and sherries shipped from around Europe. These cellars are very much still in use today for long-term customer reserve storage. 

Go underground to visit the oldest continuously working wine cellars in Scotland. Built in 1766, this year marks 260 years at 8 Academy Street! Guided tours last 40-minute

Tours on Wednesday 9th September at 2pm, 3pm, and 4pm.
