AVERYS WINE MERCHANTS IN BRISTOL
Pioneering Wines Since 1793. Steeped in history, but focused on the present. In today's world of big brands and multiple retailing, Averys is one the best independent wine merchants, offering wines of flair, flavour and character often neglected by the multiple distributors. In a world where customer service is on the decline, they have made it one of their best strenghts. If you love fine, affordable wine and being treated as a much-valued customer, you're in the right place.
Averys has featured prominently in the history of the English wine trade for over 200 years. It has survived recession, depression, war, the devastation of phylloxera in European vineyards. The firm can trace its roots back to 1793 when it was established in Bristol. The west of the UK, from Bristol to Liverpool and Glasgow, was an important route for goods coming into the country, as they didn't have to pass through the dangerous English Channel. It is no coincidence that these three cities built their wealth on the back of tobacco, slavery and alcohol imports.
The original John Avery purchased the historic premisis on Park street in 1860, today we can visit the shop in the historic cellars, or hire them out for parties, events and conferences.
Averys prospered locally until the 20th Century when, flourishing under the guidance of dynamic chairman and buyer Ronald, the business developed an enviable reputation as one of the finest wine merchants in the country, and a serious rival to the equally famous traditional merchants in St James's in London.
Averys has always had a keen interest in classic wines and a pioneering urge to discover the new. It's a balance that keeps their wine list diverse and dynamic and their customers coming back for more.
Ronald Avery, the current Chairman's father, was a wine trade legend. In the 1920s he pioneered the practice of traveling to wine estates to taste and choose when the norm was to buy from an agent. Ronald also introduced great wines from Saint-Emilion and Pomerol at a time when they were little known, including the now legendary Pétrus. Ronald, affectionately referred to as Uncle Ronald by Hugh Johnson, was one of the trade's most colourful characters and links that he established over 60 years ago are still flourishing today.
John inherited his fathers pioneering spirit and was the first to import top names from Australia, including Penfolds Grange in 1968, and the first to import the wines of New Zealand long before the New World wine boom got under way. Indeed it's a spirit that has been passed down to John's daughter Mimi, who joined the business in 1999.

Pata Negra Wine and Tapas from Spain in Bristol England
Pata Negra is a bustling, Spanish tapas & wine bar in the heart of Bristol’s Old City. There’s no need to book, unless you’re bringing a party of 8 or more, and they wholeheartedly endorse their guests dropping in for a quick glass of wine or an after work sherry.
Pata Negra is the fusion of an authentic Spanish Tapas & Wine Bar, live music bar and private event space:
- On the ground floor, you will find the main tapas and wine bar. Here, guests can drink wines from the Iberian peninsula (and a few from further afield), with a wine list that includes a small selection of sparkling wines, with the rest of the list ordered based on the particular region from which the wines come. This part of pata negra is made and decorated with polished wooden floors, a mix of tables and high benches with heavy iron stools and distressed marble-effect walls. It’s effortlessly cool and timeless.
- On the first floor and a second floor rooms are function to enjoy Cocktail and Music. Here, you will find a stylish lounge bar where regular live music is play.
Harveys Bristol Cream
17.5% alcohol. Introduced in 1796. Product of Bodegas Fundador of Spain.
The colour of mahogany with flashes of old gold. Delicate, clean, fruity, fresh and aromatic. With a soft, creamy palate, mature, clean, elegant and harmonious, highlighting the fruitiness of Pedro Ximenez, evolved from the characteristic body of an oloroso, with, to a lesser extent its keen subtle aromas emanating from its Fino composition, whilst being infused with the elegance of the Amontillados. A complete, balanced and surprising compendium of wine from Jerez.

We are an English travelling couple who met in Thailand, got engaged in Czech Republic and have continued to travel the world together ever since!
Our most recent challenge was leaving the UK with just £500 between us and the aim to create a sustainable travel lifestyle!
We work online and aim to spread the message of “Earn Less, Live More”, which encourages people to question their definition of success, and to pursue what makes them truly happy instead of chasing only money.
Creating this location independent lifestyle has helped us through depression and given us an incredible opportunity to make our lives more fulfilling. We want others to do the same and join us on this full time travel and digital nomad journey!
