Meet The Velvet Corner

Ad - A family's passion for wine, now at home in Chiswick 

When Sha and Joela opened The Velvet Corner on Southfield Road three months ago, they had a simple dream: to create a welcoming neighbourhood wine shop where people could discover beautiful wines, share stories and find something special for every occasion.

Behind The Velvet Corner is a family with over 20 years of experience in the wine trade and importing, and a genuine passion for discovering exceptional wines and the people behind them.

Today, our little corner of Chiswick brings together wines from over 30 countries, with around 60% of our collection coming from small, independent producers. From beautiful Argentine Malbecs and classic European wines to natural and orange wines, Champagne, exceptional whiskies, premium spirits and delicious provisions, there is always something new to discover.

But what has made these first three months truly special is you, our wonderful Chiswick community.

From neighbours popping in just to say hello, to the lovely conversations about wine, the encouragement and familiar faces coming back again, you've made us feel so incredibly welcome. We couldn't have asked for a better neighbourhood to call home.

Friday evenings at The Velvet Corner

Every Friday, we host a complimentary wine and cheese tasting, bringing our neighbours together to discover new wines and enjoy a lovely evening.

This Friday, 13 November, we're taking you on a little journey to Puglia in southern Italy, celebrating the beautiful tradition of San Martino, a time when friends and families come together to enjoy wine, food and good company.

As always, everything is complimentary. No reservation needed, just pop in!

A little more about us...

We also offer personalised wine recommendations, fine wine sourcing, gifting services, wines for weddings and special occasions, and complimentary local delivery within 2 km of our shop.

With Christmas just around the corner, we'd love to help you find something beautiful for your festive table or a thoughtful gift for someone special.

And we're delighted to be looking forward to joining The Chiswick Calendar Club Card scheme, with a special offer for local members.

Most importantly, thank you for supporting our independent family business. Every visit, every recommendation to a friend and every kind word means so much to us.

If we haven't met you yet, please do pop in and say hello. We'd genuinely love to meet you, hear about the wines you enjoy and perhaps introduce you to a new favourite.

Here's to many more glasses, lovely conversations and friendships in our little corner of Chiswick!

With love,

Sha & Joela
The Velvet Corner
