About Us

The Durand Family

Wellesley Island Wine & Spirits, alongside our sister store Wellesley Island Market, is proud to serve the Wellesley Island community and its visitors. Formerly known as the Fineview Mini Mart, our newly reimagined shop offers a thoughtfully curated selection of fine wines and premium spirits—perfect for pairing with dinner, celebrating special occasions, or enjoying a quiet evening by the St. Lawrence River.

We source a variety of popular labels and hidden gems, from crisp whites and bold reds to small-batch bourbons and handcrafted vodkas. Whether you’re seeking a local favorite or something unique for your collection, our friendly team is here to help you find the perfect bottle.

Next door, Wellesley Island Market provides groceries, locally made products like cheeses and coffees, and fresh, made-to-order pizza, subs, and sandwiches. You can also stop by for gas or diesel, with EV charging coming soon.

This revitalized space is the result of the vision of John Durand, founder of Wellesley Island Building Supply, who cherished the Island and saw the importance of bringing back essential retail services for year-round residents and seasonal visitors. Though John passed in 2021, his family carried on his dream, making it a reality for the community.

We invite you to stop in, explore our selection, and raise a glass to life on the River!
