Nestled at the gateway to the scenic Hemel-en-Aarde Valley, Whalehaven Wines crafts distinctive, terroir-driven wines that beautifully capture the essence of this coastal, cool-climate region.
Founded in 1995 as one of the valley’s pioneering wineries, Whalehaven honours the majestic whales visiting nearby Walker Bay through its name and philosophy.
Under the passionate stewardship of the Bottega family—now led by Silvana Bottega and renowned winemaker Richard Kershaw—the estate continues to produce exceptional, handcrafted wines praised for their purity, complexity, and true reflection of their remarkable setting.
