This comes as Bouchard Finlayson in the Hemel-en-Aarde Valley temporarily closes to undergo a world-leading transformation.
Open 7 days a week from 11h00 to 20h00, the POP UP is designed as an intimate encounter with the Estate’s evolving story. Guests can explore a series of curated tastings that reveal the creative direction of the winery’s next chapter, one sip at a time:
- The Legacy Experience: Honouring the wisdom, precision, and mastery that built the Estate’s global reputation.
- The Alchemy Discovery: Exploring bold blends, unexpected varieties, and the imaginative spirit of Hemel-en-Aarde.
- Two Collections, One Journey: A signature tasting bringing Legacy and Alchemy together, celebrating memory and possibility.
To bring a sense of the valley into the space, a bespoke feature wall illustration, created by mixed-media artist Chris Slabber, wraps the POP UP main wall in the textures, light, and quiet artistry of Hemel-en-Aarde.
Enhancing the experience is a Valley menu shaped in partnership with local artisans, reflecting the region’s deep culinary heritage. Visitors can enjoy hand-crafted cheeses from Anysbos, Stonehouse and Klein River; charcuterie from Richard Bosman; Mardouw estate-grown olives; Oskar’s fresh baguettes; Van Blommenstein’s biltong; and other thoughtfully sourced Overberg favourites.
