Tipsea Wines Ltd has applied for a premises licence to launch a new independent wine merchant and host pre-booked tasting sessions on Grape Lane in Whitby.
A WINE merchant could start offering pre-booked wine tastings in a North Yorkshire town centre if plans are approved by the council.
Tipsea Wines Ltd has applied for a premises licence that would allow it to offer wine-tasting sessions and sell wine from its premises at 1 Grape Lane, Whitby.
The business was founded by owners Adam and Chris, who said they had a vision to establish the town’s first wine merchants.
The company’s website states:
Tipsea Wines is an independent wine merchant based on the Yorkshire Coast in Whitby. Founded by two best friends, who together have decades of experience running family-owned restaurants.
If the business is granted a premises licence, it would be allowed to sell alcohol from 10am to 6pm, seven days a week.
The proposal also seeks permission for pre-booked wine tastings, which could be organised from 6pm to 10pm.
Additionally, 24-hour internet sales have also been proposed.
The application is currently open to representations from members of the public.
Residents wishing to comment on the scheme should contact the licensing authority by Sunday, May 10.
Anyone wishing to make representations regarding the application should give notice in writing to: North Yorkshire Council, Licensing Services, Town Hall, St Nicholas Street, Scarborough, YO11 2HG or by email to licensing.east@northyorks.gov.uk.
