Vergelegen Wine Estate, located in the stunning Somerset West area near Cape Town, recently opened a retail outlet, with the new offering inspired by the estate’s beauty, abundance and heritage.
Named The Potting Shed Gift Shop, this new lifestyle outlet is situated inside a renovated Cape Dutch-style building and the contents cater to various tastes, including:
Garden lovers: Stylish garden tools, garden equipment bags, comfortable kneeling cushions, exfoliating tallow soap to remove garden grime, and soothing whipped tallow butter to nourish dry hands. Affordable plants such as estate hydrangeas, clivias, roses and agapanthus are available in a dedicated area alongside the shop.
Homeware aficionados: Tea towels, aprons, picnic blankets, sun hats and shopping bags, plus ceramic wine bottle stoppers created in partnership with Ardmore.
The youth: Delightful knitted toys inspired by farm wildlife such as Cape foxes, honey badgers, eland, and Rau quagga, plus charming toy farm vehicles.
Sweet tooths: Delectable Belgian chocolate slabs, nougat, handmade biscuits, bonbons, and candied clementines.
Fashionistas: Elegant 100% silk scarves, silver and nine-carat gold jewelry featuring hydrangea and gingko motifs, and ethically farmed Cape Cobra leather handbags.
Self-care enthusiasts: Candles, soaps, room sprays, hand washes, lotions and more.
The homeware collection was curated by Tania Coetzer in collaboration with consultant Paul Duncan, while food consultant Petro Blommaert worked closely with the Vergelegen team to source and brand food items.
