Oban Shops & Services

Our story begins in Edinburgh’s Michelin-starred restaurants. Jean-Pierre, our founder, worked as Assistant Sommelier at Castle Terrace, where he trained under Joel Bastian, Scotland’s Sommelier of the Year. His dedication and skill earned him the offer to become Head Sommelier at Castle Terrace Restaurant in Edinburgh —a role shaped by years of working with some of the world’s finest wines. Then, like for many, everything changed. Covid arrived, restaurants closed, and life moved in a new direction. That’s when we decided to open a wine shop with a simple idea: to make exceptional wines—usually found on Michelin-starred wine lists—accessible to everyone.

Discover Oban's premier destination for exquisite spirits and fine wines at Oban Whisky and Fine Wines. Nestled in the heart of town, this Independent shop is a treasure trove for connoisseurs and casual enthusiasts alike, offering a curated selection of rare and unique whiskies, with a special focus on the West Coast's finest malts. Beyond the impressive array of Scotch, you'll find a diverse collection of local gins and quality wines. Our knowledgeable team is passionate about helping you find the perfect dram, whether you're a collector seeking a rare bottle or a visitor looking for a memorable taste of the Highlands to take home.
