Its owners, David Crutchley and Sam Peterson, have worked as a teacher and a nurse for the past 15 years and this is their first business venture.

After arriving in the Bay, they saw an opportunity.

“We couldn’t find anywhere that we considered nice to sit down for a glass of relaxing wine,” Mr Crutchley said.

The wine list at Tannins offers an extensive selection and nearly all are Australian, with a few Kiwi sips in the mix.

“An oasis for wine lovers,” Mr Crutchley said.
