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.

Dining under the stars...

Here the wide wooden decks are lit by campfires and candlelight, the tables laid with fine linen for guests to enjoy an authentic South African braai – barbecue – as the lodge chefs serve up a generous buffet of grilled meats, traditional salads, fire-baked breads and local desserts.

As the stars wheel above, and the moon floats above ancient mountain peaks, raise a glass – of South African wine, of course – to another unforgettable day in Africa.
