For ten years we have stocked the cellars of the world's finest yachts, Pétrus for owner dinners, grower Champagne for charter guests, allocations most merchants never see. Again and again, the same owners asked us one question: "can you do this for my house?" This page is our answer. One trusted supplier, from the dock to your private cellar.

From superyachts to private cellars

Onshore Cellars was founded in 2015 by Ed and Jess Dunnett, a former Second Officer and Chief Stewardess who met working on a 70m motor yacht. Our shop has stood in Antibes Old Town since 2017, and our team supplies yachts from 40 to 110 metres through the Mediterranean and Caribbean seasons.

Why does that matter to a collector? Because yacht provisioning is wine supply judged by the harshest standard there is: exact bottles, exact vintages, no substitutions, delivered on time in front of the most demanding audience in the world. A collector gets the same discipline, nothing less.

Sourcing rare and allocated wines

We hold more than 1,500 wines, champagnes and spirits in stock, and unlike almost every fine wine supplier in our world, our full list is browsable with public prices. No emailing for a quote, no gatekeeping.

Beyond the list sits our allocation network: Domaine de la Romanée-Conti, Pétrus, Krug Clos d'Ambonnay, Screaming Eagle, cult California, top Burgundy and first-growth Bordeaux. If a bottle exists on the market, we can usually find it. And if we can't, we tell you within hours, not after a week of silence. For the full hunt, birth-year vintages, discontinued cuvées, missing verticals, see our rare wine sourcing service.

Professional storage, €24 a case a year

Heat is the quiet killer of fine wine. Our climate-controlled storage near Antibes holds your wine at constant cellar conditions, fully documented, with insurance cover available up to €100,000, for €24 per case per year (ex VAT). Bottles come out whenever you want them: delivered to your home, your villa, or straight to the table.

Cellar advice without the theatre

Our general manager Peter Bedding holds the WSET Diploma, and our team has curated cellars for yacht owners for a decade. We start with how you actually drink, not with a list of famous labels. A good first cellar balances wines for tonight, wines that reward five years' patience, and a few bottles that will genuinely astonish you at ten. We'll tell you honestly which is which. Starting from zero? Our cellar setup service plans, stocks and manages the whole thing.

We don't sell wine as an investment product. Wine is for drinking; if your cellar appreciates along the way, enjoy the bonus.

Selling a collection

Downsizing, relocating, or settling an estate? We buy well-stored wine collections. Provenance and storage history determine what we can offer, send us your list and we'll respond quickly with a fair valuation.

Testimonials

I cannot recommend Onshore Cellars highly enough! Outstanding service, a wonderful team and a truly personal approach. Peter was absolutely fantastic and went above and beyond. An absolute pleasure to work with, and I look forward to working together again!

M/Y Spring Tide

"Onshore Cellars helped me on my first new build project putting together wines from around the world. They made the process simple and informative and left me with a happy owner!
We plan to use them in the future as the owner purchased extra wines which are now being stored in Onshore Cellars temperature controlled store."

Chief Stewardess57M Motor Yacht

"As a captain, I need suppliers I can rely on completely. Onshore Cellars delivers every time, literally. Whether we're in Antibes, Palma, or heading to the Caribbean, they sort the logistics and the wine just appears on the dock. Couldn't recommend them more highly."

Captain48m Motor Yacht

"Jess & Ed are wonderful to work with. Always happy to help and go that extra mile in any way to make my job so much easier.
I would recommend Onshore Cellars to anyone and everyone either for supplying yachts or for crew members interested in wine and wanting to stock up their personal supply."

Chief StewardessMotor Yacht Grace E

"Onshore Cellars professional and personalised service is a breath of fresh air in this industry. They continuously go the extra mile to help you out - whether it is with a last minute order and rushed delivery or helping you with food pairing and tasting notes for an important upcoming charter. Onshore Cellars go above and beyond any other wine supplier I have had experience with. I have no hesitation in recommending them and will continue to refer other colleagues in the industry to their services. Thanks Jess and Ed."

Chief StewardessMotor Yacht 84m

"I enjoyed working with Onshore Cellars to restock the wine on our yacht for the year. What I like most about working with them is that the communication is prompt and everything is customised to my needs in an instant. I would recommend Onshore cellars to anyone you cares a lot about professional advice and customer service. Thank you!"

Chief StewardessMotor Yacht IJE

"We've used Onshore Cellars for the past four charter seasons and they've never let us down. Last-minute requests, hard-to-find vintages, middle-of-the-night WhatsApp messages, they handle it all with a smile. The wine knowledge is second to none and our guests consistently comment on how impressive the wine selection is. That's all down to Jess and the team."

Chief Stewardess62m Sailing Yacht

"The WSET course I did with Onshore Cellars completely transformed my wine service on board. I went from guessing to confidently recommending wines to our owner and his guests. The course was tailored to yacht crew which made it so much more relevant than a standard wine course. Now I order all our wine through them too, the tasting notes and pairing suggestions they provide make my job so much easier."

2nd Stewardess45m Motor Yacht

"We switched to Onshore Cellars after years of frustration with our previous wine supplier. The difference is night and day. They actually listen to what our owner likes, remember his preferences, and proactively suggest new wines he might enjoy. The online ordering system with real-time stock is brilliant, no more placing orders only to be told something is out of stock. A truly professional outfit."

Private collector FAQs

Can you source rare and allocated wines?

Yes. We routinely supply Pétrus, Domaine de la Romanée-Conti, Krug Clos d'Ambonnay, Screaming Eagle and other allocation-only wines to yachts and private clients. If a bottle exists on the market, we can usually find it, and if we can't, we tell you quickly rather than leaving you waiting.

Do you offer professional wine storage?

Yes. Our climate-controlled storage near Antibes costs €24 per case per year (ex VAT), with insurance cover available up to €100,000. Your wines are stored in professional conditions with full inventory records, and can be delivered to you or your cellar whenever you want them.

Do you deliver across Europe?

Yes. Same-day on the Côte d'Azur (Antibes, Cannes, Nice, Monaco, Saint-Tropez), next-day across France, and a few days for the rest of the EU. We manage temperature-sensitive logistics properly, your wine travels the way it was stored.

Can you help me start a wine collection from scratch?

Absolutely, it is one of our favourite briefs. Our general manager Peter Bedding holds the WSET Diploma and our team has curated cellars for yacht owners for a decade. We start with how you actually drink, then build a first collection around wines that will reward keeping, not just famous labels.

Do you buy wine collections?

Yes. If you are downsizing a cellar or settling an estate, we buy well-stored collections. Provenance and storage history determine the price we can offer. See our sell your wine collection page or contact us with a list of what you have.

How do I know the provenance of your wines is genuine?

We buy directly from producers and established négociants, and our own storage is climate-controlled and documented. For older or rarer bottles we check fill levels, labels, capsules and storage history before we offer them. Provenance is exactly why yacht owners trust us with their guests' wine, the same standard applies to your cellar.
