Welcome to Dreyfus Ashby, importers of fine wine.

We are based in the United Kingdom so, if you happen to be looking for Dreyfus, Ashby & Co in the United States, you’d be well-advised to click here.

In July 2014, the company passed into the hands of Richard Kelley MW.

Dreyfus Ashby specialises in seeking out and bringing new talent to the market. We pioneer the unknown and champion the unfashionable. Our motto: To lead and never follow.

The decision to develop a monochrome website reflects of our pragmatic approach to doing business. No Grey Areas…
