Established in 2021, 22 Yards Wine Bar & Merchant is an independently owned wine bar & merchants in the heart of York city centre. Directly opposite York Minster we have made a beautiful yet relaxing space in the historic Georgian splendour of High Petergate.
With over 20 years experience in hospitality, we are putting our expertise and knowledge of great wine & food to good use. Our passion for delicious wine & ingredients means every single bottle and every food supplier has been carefully selected for their skill & passion in their product.
We are not just an ordinary wine bar. We have over 150 different wines available to purchase from our shelves and take home and in-house over 70 labels by the glass.
Our ethos is simple. We want customers to relax & enjoy great wines with absolutely zero wine snobbery in stylish, cosy surroundings, nibble on delicious food and have fun & memorable times in a memorable place.
And the name '22 Yards'? The idea for our hybrid wine bar & merchants was concieved in a chance meeting over drinks at a local cricket match. When viewing the property we discovered that the length of the customer area is circa 22 yards ( the length of a cricket pitch) and so '22 Yards' was born.
