What's happening at Wine and Co. 22 November 2019

The past few weeks have certainly been a real treat for South Africans:

1. The Springboks won the Rugby World Cup.

2. Conde Nast Traveller cited the Cape Winelands as one of the must-visit wine regions in 2020.

3. Hermanus was designated a UNESCO 'Creative City for Gastronomy'.

The Diner's Club 2020 Platter's Guide has just been released, along with its record number of 5* wines - if you need any of these outstanding wines please do contact us. 

The Piekenierskloof Pass got its name from the Dutch Piekman (soldiers) who looked after travelers crossing the mountains from wild animals who were roaming the area. Legend has it that they enjoyed their independence so much, they decided to settle permanently in the region and not return to the Cape. Here they started cultivating the land and developed a small farming community.

Come and taste Piekenierskloof wines this Friday 22 November (3 pm - 6 pm).

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, La Trappe Trappist 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 or you are not satisfied with the quality, 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.
