Fantastic service and product. I highly recommend the JDC. Wanted a diamond brooch repurposed to a ring. Allan spent time helping me with design ideas, kept me informed of progress and the ring was ready at the time promised. The ring is beautiful - better than I had imagined. I am thrilled and can not thank him enough for his care and attention

Wine shop and tasting room. Buy over 200 bottles to take away or sample wines in store from an always changing list of over 15 wines. Try our cheese platters and snacks too. Please note although we do serve food, it is a limited selection designed to compliment the wine, and we're not classed as a restaurant.

We’ve known Sam and Charlie since they opened. The addition of Ollie (ex Pipe of Port) and Alison has also been a most welcome boost to an already superb team. The choice of wines on offer is fabulous. What makes it even more fun is the regular infusions of new and exciting additions to the stock, which means that regular visitors can continue to make exciting new discoveries for themselves. The tasting evenings are also a must right down to the food options which are always an excellent match. Being as the team’s knowledge base is extremely strong, it becomes a superb learning experience as well as great fun! Well done guys, keep up the great work.

When the sun is shining and you pop your earphones in and take a walk along Belton hill up top, it’s not overly long but the views and nature are breath taking, along with some furry friends popping out along the way. Benches are placed along your walk so you can sit and take it all in whilst catching some rays. We do have some beautiful views in Leigh the estuary and old Leigh with all the boats are just so worth just sitting and taking it all in.
