Bouchard Finlayson

Hermanus, Western Cape

A vineyard between heaven & earth

Cradled amid the hills of the Hemel-en-Aarde (Heaven and Earth) valley,
Bouchard Finlayson is widely acclaimed as one of South Africa’s leading boutique wine cellars.

With a terroir defined by both ancient soils and a cool maritime climate, the vineyards of Bouchard Finlayson are famous for producing award-winning
Pinot Noir, elegant Chardonnay and terroir-driven Sauvignon Blanc, while inspired blends showcase the depth of skill and innovation in our winemaking team.

The Bouchard Finlayson cellar is conveniently located a scenic 90 minutes’ drive from Cape Town, close to the world-famous whale-watching centre of Hermanus.

A restorative journey

Find beauty, balance and wellness at the Spa at The Oyster Box. Breathe deeply in the Tranquillity Lounge, and ease away stress in the plunge pool, before you reinvigorate both body and mind with our bespoke body and facial treatments. Signature journeys include steam treatments in our traditional hammam, full body massages using crystal-infused oils, and our all-natural B|Africa and Tata Harper treatments.

Purify & detox

Enjoy a little healthy indulgence with our wellness-focused spa menu. Sip on a vitamin-packed smoothie before joining an early yoga class; stretching both body and mind while welcoming the day. Come lunchtime, look forward to sushi platters and generous salads, or healthy treats such as rolled peach pavlova. Vegetarian and vegan meal options are also available at The Ocean Terrace restaurant.
