Kat Brown
Having started in the wine trade in 2001 (selling wine as a supplier) Kat completed her WSET Diploma in 2009. She joined the Wine Utopia team in 2019. As a busy mum, Kat relishes her Fridays in the Stockbridge shop, talking to customers about her second passion (after her kids of course!)….wine! She is a lover of all things French, in particular the Loire and it’s Cabernet Francs. Also loves South African Chenin. When she is not selling or drinking wine, she enjoys walking with her boys in their local woods and generally enjoying living in the country!
Emma Windsor
Many of our regular customers in Stockbridge will know Emma for her warm welcome and friendly, relaxed personality. Coming from Broughton (quite possibly the village with the highest consumption of wine in the Test Valley!), she is well qualified to assist with all your wine purchasing.
Denise Gadsby-Thompson
After many wonderful years working in the travel industry, Denise made the move across to the world of wine in July 2021. Good wine is something she enjoy's along with good food, with friends, or just to relax at home with, so working with Wine Utopia is perfect! Denise's aim is to make sure our wine club stands out from the crowd and really understand each individual's preferences to help us deliver an exceptional personalised service.
Paul Wigg
Paulie drives day and night to make sure your deliveries reach you on time! As reliable as the rain, Paulie is rated one of the worlds best drivers/ gardeners.
About Us
Born in 2011 to share and highlight a variety of unique wines from vineyards around the world, Wine Utopia exists to help you curate a wine rack that's abundant for your every mood or occasion.
We pride ourselves on excellent customer service and believe in sourcing exciting, well-made wines from small producers who focus on quality, integrity and provenance.
Our philosophy: "If we wouldn't drink it at home, we won't stock it!"
There's nothing more satisfying than finding a wine that ticks all the boxes. Our range varies from great 'everyday' wines to mid-range and fine wines. We have a selection of over 500, but don't let that intimidate you. Our knowledgeable and friendly team are on hand to advise based on your preferences. Whether you want something to match a leg of lamb, a bottle for a dinner party or something to enjoy in front of the fire on a Friday night, we're all ears and love a chat!
Alongside our wine, we host a curated selection of spirits and beers, supporting local distilleries and breweries where possible.
Our team hale from numerous backgrounds in the wine and hospitality industries - and together, offer a well-rounded, unique and personal service while remaining down to earth, approachable and fun!
Our flagship store sits in the pretty town of Stockbridge, alongside an array of unique independent boutiques and eateries. We recommend a walk by the River Test before popping in to see Yolly - whose wine of the week is always warmly welcomed!
Another fabulous community surrounds our Kings Worthy store. We welcome Hoxton Bakery every Saturday with a selection of delicious bread and their famous cinnamon buns - and Hannah's on hand to suggest a Sunday lunch wine.
We typically host educational and fun events such as winemaker dinners and tastings, which we look forward to welcoming back post-COVID-19! Join the mailing list below, and we'll keep you in the loop.
