Not just wine!

It all started for Duncan after a college visit to Bordeaux in 1989, where he discovered his incredible passion for wine and after learning his trade at Oddbins and working the French vineyards, Duncan and Megan finally opened their shop in Adam & Eve Street, Market Harborough in December 2001.

It was just the beginning and now 22 years later, Duncan Murray Wines is highly respected as one of the most formidable independent wine merchants in the country.

It has been nationally recognised in recent years for:

  • winning the Portuguese Wine Awards 'Independent Wine Merchant 2010
  • winning IWSC 2012 'Independent Retailer of The Year
  • achieving top 50 UK's Best Independent Drinks Merchants 2017

So what makes Duncan Murray Wines different?

Well for a start, you won't find any product in the shop that hasn't been thoroughly inspected, tasted and approved, resulting in a staggering 97% being rejected!

The wines, beers and spirits selected are special and many unlikely to be found in other retail shops.

“Faultless service and a very good Sauvignon, which was clearly observed by a significant number of guests, as there was precious little left!”  Richard Ferrand Organisation

The Wunderbar - Duncan's Wine Bar:

The infamous 'Wunderbar' first popped up for business within the shop in August 2017 and has proved to be a staggering success ever since, currently opening on selected Fridays from 4pm to 8pm.

So when open, you can 'pop in' for a drink and enjoy lovingly chosen wines and beer in a quite unique setting. There will even be nibbles to enjoy too! HOWEVER, these sessions are very popular and so we strongly advise you to 'book' your barrel table in advance as we could fill up.

Free Wine Tasting - Saturdays 12pm - 3pm (ish):

For fun and free informal tastings, you are invited to come along to the weekly tastings at the shop in Adam & Eve Street and try a selection of wines or beers for FREE with a guide to each one and an opportunity (without obligation) to purchase. No need to book - just show up anytime between 12pm and 3pm!

Tasting Masterclasses:

The updated 2024 Tastings Calendar CAN BE SEEN HERE and you can get tickets from the shop or by calling 01858 464935.
