A vineyard between heaven & earth

Cradled amid the hills of the Hemel-en-Aarde (Heaven and Earth) valley,
Bouchard Finlayson is widely acclaimed as one of South Africa’s leading boutique wine cellars.

With a terroir defined by both ancient soils and a cool maritime climate, the vineyards of Bouchard Finlayson are famous for producing award-winning
Pinot Noir, elegant Chardonnay and terroir-driven Sauvignon Blanc, while inspired blends showcase the depth of skill and innovation in our winemaking team.

The Bouchard Finlayson cellar is conveniently located a scenic 90 minutes’ drive from Cape Town, close to the world-famous whale-watching centre of Hermanus.

Our Restaurant

Alongside nourishing and Scottish influenced dishes, our varied menu also suggests other drinks, light dishes and snacks to enjoy whilst relaxing in the cosy bar.

We are open for residents and non-residents, however, during high season (May – September) we can be extremely busy and therefore space is subject to availability.

Our Bar

Relax by the open fire and savour a drink from our extensive menu. We have a wide selection of over 30 malt whiskies, all offering different tastes and origins.

Our team are happy to make suggestions and offer tastings, or why not try some of the local Cairngorm lager sourced from Aviemore or have our very own, brand-new ‘Laggan Pilsner’, brewed at the Belhaven Brewery?
