If you’re planning a wine tour in Stellenbosch and love a blend of history, luxury, and terroir-driven wine, Hazendal Wine Lounge should be at the top of your list. Set within the estate’s original wine cellar, dating back to circa 1870, this beautifully restored space is a celebration of Hazendal’s rich heritage and innovative spirit. It’s where classic charm meets modern design, and every detail has been considered — from deep-buttoned Harrington sofas around a central fireplace to a statement copper-clad bar that exudes warmth and sophistication.
Whether you’re a casual wine lover or a seasoned enthusiast, the Wine Lounge team is ready to guide you on a curated tasting journey — sharing insights into Hazendal’s winemaking philosophy, the unique Bottelary Hills terroir, and the estate’s impressive range of wines.
What’s On Offer?
Hazendal’s Wine Lounge offers a refined tasting experience with three tasting flight options designed to suit every palate:
- A selection of any 3 wines

Each tasting celebrates Hazendal’s signature style — wines with structure, depth, and a true sense of place. You’ll also have the chance to savour their Cap Classique Blanc de Blanc and Blanc de Noir, both proudly crafted in the traditional method. To elevate your tasting, pair your wine flight with a beautifully prepared cheese and charcuterie board, available at the lounge.
