What our members
say about us
Vintage Cellar has demystified the wine collecting experience, and allowed us to
have a lot of fun while building a portfolio that should yield strong results.
Guillaume - France
The support and advice of Wadih, our dedicated Vintage Cellar collection manager, has made the wine collecting experience a complete joy. He’s been a patient and expert guide into a world we’ve long admired, but didn’t know too much about.
Mark - US
Johnny organized for me to travel to Bordeaux to visit the wineries and producers I’m particularly interested in, as well to view my collection in their storage facilities. I was super impressed with the whole experience and really couldn't recommend Vintage Cellar more, their expertise and passion are unmatched.
Alexander - Switzerland
A friend, a wine collector who has worked with Johnny and his team for the past two years, introduced me to Vintage Cellar when I decided to start building my own collection. I opted to store my bottles in their Bordeaux warehouse until I can build a proper cellar at my home in London. My experience with them has been nothing less than exceptional and seamless. Thank you, team!
