Inspired by the historic fishing
village of Arniston, the Arniston Bay wine range was established in 1996.
Harnessing the coastal vineyards, our winemaker Abraham De Villiers produces wines that benefit from the cooling effect of the Atlantic Ocean and reflect the charm of Arniston.
The small fishing village of Arniston is situated at the most southerly point of the African continent.
It is best known for its 200 year-old fisherman’s village, Kassiesbaai. The village is a national monument and its whitewashed, thatched cottages have stolen the hearts of many.
The range of Arniston Bay wines aim to capture the essence of Arniston’s charm and character. As a global brand, Arniston Bay reached a peak of 12 million bottles.

Like the pale pink haze that casts over Arniston Bay to mark the end of a summer’s day, the Arniston Bay Rosé is elegant and striking, with alluring notes of pomegranate, grapefruit and lemon blossoms.
