The Old Cape Wine Shop may be ‘dinky’, but that doesn’t stop it from stocking a wide range of great value wines. With just under 1,000 bottles on the shelves, only the best wines and bubblies make the grade. And, as blind tastings regularly attest to, ‘best’ does not necessarily mean ‘most expensive’. Indeed, owners Rael and Graham go out of their way to source wines that are exceptionally well priced.
 
Being different also helps. You’ll almost certainly find wines you have never encountered before, which is one of many reasons to join the weekly wine tastings. Held at the shop every Saturday throughout summer, tastings often feature not just wines but wine makers too! What better way to wile away the wait for a takeaway pizza from Blue Water Café than to taste a few special vintages while learning more from the people behind them? But don’t despair if you miss the tasting, there is always a cold bubbly just waiting to be picked up on your way back to the car!
