Bellevue Wine Estate

Wine Club Enthusiasts, This One's for You!

Are you part of a wine club eager to discover new and exciting wines? Or perhaps you'd like to impress your fellow members by introducing them to a hidden gem of a wine farm?
We’d love to bring the Bellevue experience to your next tasting event! If your wine club is interested in having us present our exquisite range of wines, simply drop us an email at [email protected].

But don’t just take our word for it—here’s what other wine clubs have to say about us:
“Luan’s performance and the wines were superb. Rarely have I come across a range of such fresh, elegant, and polished wines. An enjoyable evening, well done Bellevue Wines.”

Behind the bottles: Our Bellevue Team

Deidre is our new Tasting Room Manager. She loves our unique Malbec, it reminds her of a walk in our beautiful mountains and the smell of fynbos. She recommends pairing it with a group of close friends, a fire and an intense catch-up session.

Bellevue Malbec 2021
Michelangelo Awards: Double Gold
Platters rating: 4 stars

Tantalisingly wild on the nose, with scents of rosemary, fynbos and buchu, but soft on the palate with an abundance of plums and red cherries, underscored by hints of watercress and herbs. Delicious with roast leg of Karoo lamb with rosemary and mint, or an African-inspired guineafowl ‘coq’ au vin!

Who says you need fancy dinners to enjoy great wine?

Pairing nachos with a glass of your favourite wine can turn any casual meal into a gourmet experience. Think crispy nachos topped with spicy cheese and a glass of zesty Sauvignon Blanc or a bold Pinotage. Come and experience it for yourself at Bellevue Wine Estate with our Nacho and Wine Pairing experience.
