You don’t need a covid test to reach Ghantoot’s bottle shop

Windmill Cellar – previously called Eurostar Cellar UAE – is within easier reach than you think…
Residents in-the-know will be all too familiar with Eurostar Cellar UAE – the enormous drinks retailer (suitable for non-Muslims) located in Ghantoot. Open since 2013 – and only 20 minutes drive from Dubai – it is one of the main retailers selling a vast selection of premium brands on full display.

What some residents may not know, however, is that it’s had a recent rebrand, now called Windmill Cellar.

It also remains fully-accessible to those driving in from Dubai despite its location past the Abu Dhabi border control point, without the need for a Covid test or an alcohol license to get through.

So, how do I get through border control?

At the Abu Dhabi border check point, simply stay in the far right-hand-lane, and mention to the concerned authorities that you are travelling to the Golden Tulip Resort, which is located adjacent to Windmill Cellar. The authorities will then let you take exit 399 to reach the hotel. Easy. Click here for the Google Maps location.

What’s on offer?

Aside from their lowest price offers and brilliant deals, those who visit Windmill Cellar this month will also receive a complimentary bottle of premium wine or scotch, while stocks last. No covid test or alcohol licenses necessary, and visitors must be over 21 years.
