The Wicklow Wine Company began its life in November 2000 on the main street of Wicklow Town with two graduates of the Wine and Spirit Education Trust’s Diploma, Michael Anderson and Ben Mason at its helm. They brought with them several years of experience gained from working with Searson’s Wine Merchants based in Monkstown, Co Dublin. Both men shared a passion for wine and a wealth of knowledge covering most of the world of wine between them. They worked hard to establish a fine retail business while importing and wholesaling an impressive selection of interesting wines direct from the vineyards.
