A perfect partnership!

There are not many meals or occasions where wine isn’t the perfect accompaniment and the same goes for our food hampers.

You can order luxury versions of our food hampers that already include wine or order as many bottles as you like separately.

Alternatively contact DBM directly and choose any wines from their large selection to be delivered to your holiday cottage or your home.

We like working with with Richard, Susan and Aidan at Davis Bell McCraith (DBM) Wines as they have very similar values to us here at Sheepskin and we believe to you, our guests, too:

• They are independent of mind and also in business
• They appreciate the finer things in life; not always the most expensive but carefully selected, considered choices with attention to detail to make them stand out from the crowd.
• They pride themselves on and appreciate personal service.

Together with DBM we have chosen a few wonderful wines for you which work well with our delicious Tapas or snacks from our Welsh Hamper.
