Tasting tours between heaven & earth
Wine tastings
Seated in the tasting room, barrel maturation cellar or out on the terrace, visitors are able to taste and discover a choice of eight wines in the Bouchard Finlayson portfolio, including the iconic Tête de Cuvée Pinot Noir.
Three wines at R35 per person or six wines at R70 per person.
Cellar tours
Our informative cellar tours offer a unique behind-the-scenes perspective on the viticultural and winemaking philosophy of Bouchard Finlayson. During the walking tour, a member of our cellar team guides visitors though the entire winemaking process. Cellar tours are subject to availability, and pre-booking is essential.
R65 per person.
Vintage tastings
Our wines are crafted to express both the terroir of the estate and the unique character of each vintage. Our exclusive Vintage Tasting offers a remarkable opportunity to discover the variability of vintage and the ageing potential of Bouchard Finlayson wines. This varietal-specific tasting showcases four distinct vintages of the award-winning Galpin Peak Pinot Noir. Each vintage is paired with a curated tasting portion carefully selected to complement the wine.
Ideal for small groups, Vintage Tastings are priced at R400 per person, with a minimum charge of R3500. A maximum of 15 guests can be accommodated per tasting, and prior reservation is essential.
Delicious deli platters
Our generous deli platter is served on wooden boards made from old barrels, and laden with salami, mild Gruberg cheese, Colby cheese, ciabatta, estate olive oil, olives, olive tapenade and mixed nuts at R280. Enjoy this delicious offering on the terrace overlooking the vineyards, in the romance of the cellar or next to a crackling fire in winter.
Our vegan offering includes hummus, Fauxmage Chêvre-style cashew cheese, vegetable 'biltong', micro-greens, olives and nuts. Enjoy our vegan wines - our flagship 2019 Tête de Cuvée Pinot Noir, 2018 Missionvale Chardonnay and 2018 Crocodile's Lair Chardonnay.
Priced at R300. Vegan platters must be pre-ordered.
Winter warmers
While the vineyards use the cold and rainy days of winter to rest and recharge ahead of the next harvest, in the cellar door tasting room we’re offering guests a delicious way to warm up your winter in the valley. On Saturdays and Sundays visitors can enjoy a bowl of hearty soup, accompanied by fresh breads. Sourced from a local chef and bakery, this delicious winter warmer is the ideal way to keep the chills at bay as you enjoy the wines of Bouchard Finlayson.
