Where to Buy Wine in Grand Cayman

You cannot pick up a bottle with your groceries here, so the first thing to know is where wine actually comes from. Here is where to buy it, who has the deepest selection, who delivers, and where to drink and learn about it.

The short answer

Grand Cayman's supermarkets do not sell alcohol, so wine comes from dedicated liquor retailers. The quick version:

  • The specialist: The Tasting Room Wine Cellar, a wine-focused shop on West Bay Road.
  • The biggest selections: Jacques Scott (over 1,500 wines in a shop), and, less obviously, Grand Old House's restaurant cellar (3,000-plus selections, including rare bottles) which also sells retail.
  • Everyday ranges, with delivery: Blackbeard's and Tortuga (Tortuga delivers island-wide).
  • To drink and learn: wine bars at Camana Bay and West Bay, an award-winning cellar at Grand Old House, and a sommelier-curated wine club.

Where to buy: the wine shops

The Tasting Room Wine Cellar (5 Caribbean Plaza, West Bay Road; open daily 10am to 10pm) is the closest thing to a dedicated wine merchant on the island, describing itself as "more than a retail shop." It has an online store, sells wine alongside spirits and gifts, and runs the wine bar and tasting experiences covered below. It offers delivery for a flat US$10, Monday to Saturday 10am to 3pm, with orders typically arriving within 24 to 48 hours.

Jacques Scott carries the largest wine selection on the island, listing over 1,500 wines, from everyday bottles to premium names, across reds, whites and rosés, Champagne and sparkling, and dessert wines. It also runs a recently launched loyalty programme, the Grapevine Club (you earn one "Grape" per CI$1 spent, redeemable for savings), and supports customers who want to host their own wine-tasting parties. With multiple locations, it is the easiest big-range option to reach.

Blackbeard's stocks a full wine range (reds, whites, rosés, Champagne and sparkling) across its locations, and Tortuga carries wine across price points with a recurring "3 for 2 wines" promotion and island-wide delivery. Between them they cover the everyday end well.

Grand Old House is the island's quietest wine-buying option. Best known as a fine-dining restaurant on the George Town waterfront, it keeps one of the Caribbean's finest cellars, more than 3,000 selections and over 25,000 bottles, rare finds included, and its own site lists a "Wine Bar and Retail Shop," so you can buy bottles from that collection. It is far better known for dinner than for wine-buying, so it is easy to overlook, but worth asking about for special-occasion or hard-to-find bottles you will not see on a shop shelf.

One thing that catches visitors out: the supermarkets (Foster's, Kirk Market, Hurley's) do not sell alcohol at all, so you can't add a bottle to a grocery run. To compare current prices across the main liquor retailers, see Daily.ky's store-by-store price comparison (it tracks a basket of popular bottles across Tortuga, Blackbeard's, Jacques Scott and Shopright).

Wine bars and where to taste

For drinking rather than buying, a few places stand out:

  • The Tasting Room Wine Bar (10 Market Street, Camana Bay; Mon to Fri 10am to 10pm, Sun from noon) pours wines by the glass, rotating flights, and paired tapas in a relaxed setting.
  • Le Petit Bar (Jacques Scott Plaza, West Bay Road, West Bay) is an intimate evening wine bar pairing wine, spirits, beer and sake with artisan charcuterie boards (also available "to go"). Open Monday to Friday from 4pm and Saturday until midnight; closed Tuesday and Sunday.
  • Grand Old House (648 South Church Street, on the George Town waterfront) is best known for fine dining, but its award-winning cellar (above) also anchors a regular, scheduled programme of wine tastings and dinners.
  • Mario's Wine Dining Experience (at The Grove, West Bay Road), part of the Tasting Room group, builds a five-course menu around paired wines.

Wine clubs and societies

If you are staying longer or live here, two options go deeper:

  • The Brasserie's Purveyors Wine Club is curated by a Master Sommelier and delivers three new wines a month (with tasting notes and pairings), in tiers from CI$120 to CI$390 a month, with free delivery in George Town and Seven Mile Beach and access to its SWIRL tastings and Harvest Dinners.
  • The International Wine & Food Society, Cayman Islands branch, chartered in 1987, holds six to eight fine-wine events a year on Grand Cayman and imports rare wines through its members' company, though membership is by invitation.

Methodology and sources

Retailers, venues and clubs were verified against each business's own website as of 28 July 2026: The Tasting Room (locations, hours, wine bar, experiences), Le Petit Bar (West Bay wine bar), Jacques Scott (wine catalogue, the Grapevine Club loyalty programme, and tasting-party support), Blackbeard's and Tortuga (wine ranges and Tortuga delivery), Grand Old House (its "Wine Bar and Retail Shop," cellar size, award-winning collection, and scheduled tastings/dinners), The Brasserie (Purveyors Wine Club tiers and benefits), and the International Wine & Food Society. The Tasting Room's flat US$10 delivery window reflects the store's stated delivery policy. The supermarket no-alcohol rule is long-standing local practice. Where a business's site did not state a detail, it is left out. Prices and offers change, so confirm with the retailer when you order. This is general information, not booking advice.
