Buying South African Wine

Cape Town offers several ways to buy South African wine, from city bottle shops to wine farms. Decide whether you need a broad selection, advice, or bottles to take home.

Buying South African Wine

Why go

Buying in the city lets you compare wines from different producers without travelling between estates. A specialist shop can help narrow a large selection, while a supermarket or larger bottle store may suit a straightforward purchase. If wine is part of a road trip, plan the purchase around how you will carry it.

Useful to know

  • Compare a specialist wine shop with a larger bottle store if selection and price both matter.
  • Ask for packing suitable for your onward journey, especially if bottles will go in checked luggage.
  • Use a wine guide to narrow a large selection, then compare bottles in person.
