Featured on Mark's Roaminations
It is no secret that our sleepy sea-side village of Hermanus is popular with the local and international tourists who visit us, many returning year after year, some staying for months at a time. Earlier this year one of our overseas customers spent some time in South Africa, most of which was in Hermanus. Mark came to Wine and Co for the first time after we were recommended by his good friend and wildlife photographer Daryl Balfour who also happens to be a very, very serious wino! Every year Daryl does a recce around the Cape tasting and buying the best wine to fill up his personal cellar so he is familiar with what we stock. Daryl, thank you for referring Mark to us!
In between his excursions around South Africa, Mark spent time in our shop chatting with us about wine and his planned trips to winemakers, and of course tasting! He bought a few bottles to make sure he and his wife, Shan, were well-stocked during their stay, and after he left to go back to the UK he started updating his Blog with his South African travels. One of the articles he wrote was a beautiful piece on our little shop. We are really happy to be recognized for doing something we love, that is, stocking and sharing good wine with like-minded people and we hope that we are living up to our claim of being 'The Coolest Wine Shop!' Thanks again for your kind words, Mark, we hope to see you guys soon.
Here is a link to the article on Mark's blog.

About Us
Have you ever heard about a great wine but could never find a bottle for yourself (to share with friends, of course)? Well, the team at Wine & Company do all the hard work for you! We visit wine farms and attend tastings to find, taste, and then stock wine from the smaller Estates and independent winemakers who buy grapes and produce outstanding wine under their own labels – much the same as the French negociants have been doing for centuries. Given that these winemakers make wine in such small quantities, sometimes just a single barrel, their wine will never be found on the shelves of the major retailers, but only in specialist shops like Wine & Company on High Street, Hermanus.
In addition to the great selection of well-known wines and MCC's, we also stock local craft gin and beer, French Champagne, Belgian Ales as well as whisky and other spirits. Wine & Company (established in 1998 by Bartho Eksteen) has a well-earned reputation for stocking hard-to-find small-batch wines and we strive to continue this great tradition. If you purchase a bottle of wine from us and it is faulty we will gladly replace the bottle and return the faulty wine to the winemaker.
Feel free to contact Wine & Company if you need a particular wine and we will do our best to source it for you. We are also able to ship wine locally and to most countries so do ask about international shipping.
Thank you for your support - stay safe - see you soon!
