Low slung beams and a beer garden overlooking bucolic, rolling paddocks: a 14th-century pub that’s worth navigating the winding lanes to find. Run by Ben Maschler, son of the food critic Fay, its chilli squid is the perfect salty prize at the end of a hot walk. Or settle into a candlelit nook for a rump steak or buttery fish pie.  

Your local Tisbury wine and spirits merchant, founded by two friends – Tim Gardner and Nick Beedle – in 2021. With shelves stacked with over 100 wines, from crisp, chilled whites to bold, fruit-forward reds, there's a bottle for every taste and every occasion. Or plan ahead and book a wine tasting, complete with charcuterie and cheese pairings. 

A recent addition to Tisbury's high street, this Narnia-esque bookshop was founded by journalist Chloe Fox. Step inside to discover shelves brimming with the latest hardbacks, bestselling fiction and a thoughtfully curated 'Shelf Help' table. Strike up a conversation while you're browsing for seasonal reading recommendations, hidden gems and a first look at the events calendar. The intimate in-conversation evenings with authors are well worth bookmarking.

Hidden down one of Tisbury's most unexpected country lanes, Montes & Clark is a tiny garden hut brimming with beautifully crafted treasures for the home. It's the creative trove of Kate Clark, where you'll find handcrafted textiles and design-led pieces, from oak-framed appliqué artwork and vibrant Mexican-striped lampshades to handwoven storage baskets with leather handles, made by a weaving community in Ghana's Bolgatanga region.
