WINE STORAGE
Professional cellaring for yachts and private collectors, from €24 a case a year
Heat is the quiet killer of fine wine, and a yacht is one of the hardest places on earth to keep a bottle at 16°C.
Engine rooms radiate, guest fridges cycle, and even the best on-board cellar goes dark during a yard period or a sale. Meanwhile every case you carry is capital rolling around in a seaway.
Our climate-controlled facility sits minutes from Antibes. Land your collection with us and it rests at constant cellar conditions: documented, insured and ready to come back aboard whenever the itinerary calls for it. Yachts use us through yard periods, between seasons and between owners; private collectors use us all year round.

Wine storage FAQs
What does wine storage cost?
€24 per case per year, or €2 per case per month, ex VAT, a case being six 75cl bottles or the equivalent volume. That price includes insurance for the replacement cost of the wine up to €100,000.
Can I store wine I didn't buy from Onshore Cellars?
Yes. There is a one-off receiving charge of €4.95 per case (ex VAT), after which normal storage rates apply. Let us know in advance so we can book the wine in, and provide evidence of fill levels and condition plus a valid VAT invoice for the wines being transferred.
How do I get my wine back when I need it?
Just tell us where and when. We deliver back to your yacht, villa or home, same-day along the Côte d'Azur in season, or you can collect from the warehouse in Vallauris free of charge. Delivery is quoted by distance and weight.
What are the storage conditions?
Constant cellar temperature and controlled humidity year-round, away from light and vibration, in a secure, alarmed and monitored facility minutes from Antibes.
Is there a minimum quantity or term?
No minimums, from a single case kept between seasons to a full cellar landed for a refit or a sale. Storage is billed monthly, so you only pay for the time your wine is with us.
Can you store our cellar during a yard period or sale?
That is exactly what most of our yacht clients use us for. We collect the cellar from the berth, inventory it on arrival, hold it in professional conditions for the duration, and re-deliver when the boat is ready, with the documentation to match.
