The story

Dunell's Wine Festival in St Peter

An annual wine tasting event run by Dunell's, Jersey's independent wine merchant founded in 1899, held at Jersey Rugby Club each June. Over 100 wines from boutique producers across France, Spain, Portugal and Italy are poured, with DJs and a saxophonist providing a lounge-party atmosphere for an over-18s-only crowd of ticket holders.

Dunell's traces its history back to 1899, when it began life as a greengrocer in Beaumont, St Peter, before converting fully into a wine and spirits merchant in 1969 and growing into what is now one of Jersey's leading independent wine businesses, with shops in Beaumont, Gorey and St Helier.

What is special

The part that makes it specific.

01

The place changes

Dunell's runs the festival as a single afternoon sitting at Jersey Rugby Club rather than a multi-day trade event, pouring over 100 wines from boutique international producers with DJs and a saxophonist setting a lounge-party tone instead of a formal tasting-room hush

02

The mystery stays covered

The company closes its St Helier shop for the day to staff the event, underlining how central the festival has become to Dunell's own annual calendar of activities
