The Cellar in the City

Dorrance Wines recently unveiled their new urban wine cellar and tasting room located in the Heritage Square, one of Cape Town’s most iconic buildings.

The narrow doorways, exposed granite walls, dimly-lit rows of barriques and an old forge provide the perfect old world setting for a unique City Winery.

Christophe & Sabrina Durand’s journey to create a space in which to nurture and showcase wines that express terroir, honour tradition and exude elegance.

This quest corresponds with Dorrance wine’s credo of producing finely crafted wines in the French tradition.

Hailing from Calvados, Christophe moved to Cape Town in 1995, where he established himself as a supplier of premium French barriques and also met Sabrina.
