Something new… We are trying a different mailing program for our Newsletter – please let us know what you think of the layout. When setting it all up we found a few old email contacts from the previous application which we have imported into this one which might explain why you may have suddenly received

OPEN, SORT OF…Here’s some good news – we will be open for tastings over weekends! Stop in to taste and we can deliver any purchases after we close. It seems that with our On/Off License we are able to open for tastings and sales – with deliveries only after we close the shop. This means

Is it too late to wish everyone a happy and healthy 2021, more than a month after the fact? Last year seems like a very long time ago, and with this past week being the first time we have been able to open our doors for the year, it only feels right to get the

It has been a very long wait, but we are finally able to open our shop!  A big thank you to all our loyal customers for your ongoing support, patience and especially for making use of our not-so-pretty website. All the online purchases will be sent out this week (free delivery within the Hermanus area, and
