New wine store opens in South Downs

Chanctonbury Wines opened for business in Steyning High Street on Thursday (October 19).

The shop – owned by Rob and Beth Maynard – offers a ‘global selection of exceptional wines, beers and deli goods.’

It has an open airy feel, says Rob: “A good space for casual browsing and a broad selection from daily drinkers to rare bottles, there’s plenty to get stuck into.”

Rob, who has worked in restaurants for many years, is also a partner in Hove’s multiple award winning Wild Flor, one of the country’s best restaurants for wine drinkers and personal accolades include being featured in Harper’s Wine & Spirits Top 30 under 30 this year.

"We’re immensely excited to see where it goes.”
