The Art Gallery

Wine and art, side by side

Created in 2008 in honour of Mary Krige's passion for art, the gallery fills one of our oak maturation cellars with work by local artists. Wine and art share the same intrinsic values — enjoyment, pleasure and investment.

Entrance Free

The Vinotheque

Library vintages, ready to travel

Inside the tasting room, the Vinotheque stocks gifts and library vintages to take home — older releases of the estate wines, matured in our own cellar. Can't make it to Stellenbosch? The same library releases and curated gifts are in the online shop.
