House of Townend is a fifth generation, family-owned wine merchant, established in Yorkshire in 1906. Over the past 120 years, the family has built close relationships with growers and winemakers around the world – many of which go back decades. 

They buy directly from producers they know and trust, looking above all for wines with quality, character and a real sense of place. Every wine is bottled at source rather than shipped in bulk, helping to preserve its quality, character and provenance. 

For guests at AO Arena, that means a carefully chosen range of great wines, from familiar favourites to something off the beaten track. 

Whether you are raising a glass before the show, celebrating with friends or enjoying a drink during the event, you can expect delicious wine, selected with care and backed by more than 120 years of experience.
