Village Lane Private Cellar Cape Town

Village Lane Private Cellar, a charming boutique winery tucked away in Cape Town's lush Southern Suburbs, invites visitors to discover the intimate world of small-batch, handcrafted wines amid rolling vineyards and mountain vistas. Specializing in cool-climate varietals like Sauvignon Blanc, Pinot Noir, and elegant blends, this family-owned gem emphasizes sustainable practices and personalized experiences, making it a serene escape just 25 minutes from the city's CBD and a short drive from Kalk Bay's bohemian coastal vibe.
