The Wine Village

At the entrance of the stunning Hemel & Aarde Valley in Hermanus, the Wine Village is my favorite wine shop in the country. Founded in 1998 by Harare expat Paul du Toit and his wife Cathy, this gem has grown under the expert guidance of Jean-Pierre Rossouw into a premier destination for wine enthusiasts.

A One-Stop Wine Experience

What makes the Wine Village truly special is its incredible selection. With over 5,000 labels from nearly 800 South African wine producers, you can find the best of South African wines, gins, and brandies all in one place. No need to visit individual vineyards—everything you need is under one roof.

Quality You Can Trust

Quality is at the heart of the Wine Village. Every wine must pass a rigorous staff tasting test, ensuring that only the finest bottles make it to the shelves. From award-winning reds to crisp whites, you can shop with confidence knowing that each selection meets high standards.

Tasting Experiences

The Wine Village also offers an exceptional tasting counter where you can sample a variety of wines, gins, and brandies daily. This welcoming atmosphere makes it easy to explore new flavors, with knowledgeable staff ready to guide you through each tasting.

Global Shipping

For those who want to share the love of South African wines, the Wine Village ships worldwide. Whether you’re ordering a single bottle or a container load, your wines will be delivered swiftly and securely.

Conclusion

The Wine Village is more than just a shop; it’s a destination that celebrates the richness of South African wine culture. With its impressive selection, commitment to quality, and friendly service, it’s no wonder this is my favorite wine shop in the country. If you’re in the area, make sure to stop by and experience the magic for yourself!
