Our passion for exceptional wine

Great Domaines is more than just a wine merchant. We're passionate storytellers, sharing the captivating tales behind each bottle.


From the vineyards where grapes are grown to the hands that craft the wine, we bring you a deeper connection to the world of wine.

Behind every bottle

Have you ever felt lost in the world of wine, eager to discover, expand your knowledge, and become a confident wine enthusiast, but unsure of where to start?

Imagine a world where the finest wines, hidden gems, and legendary estates are just a click away. A world where you're not just buying a bottle, but embarking on a journey through time, culture, and taste.

That's the vision behind Great Domaines. We're more than just a wine merchant; we're your personal curator, your guide through the intricate and enthralling details of the world of wine.

Cultivated connections

We've spent years building relationships with renowned producers, discovering hidden vineyards, and curating a collection that reflects the true essence of wine.

From the iconic names to the emerging stars, our portfolio is a testament to our passion and dedication. But it's not just about the wine. It's about the stories, the people, and the experiences that shape each bottle.

Wine is more than a glass of red, white or rosé; it’s a window into different cultures and traditions. Every sip tells a story, from the vineyards of Burgundy where we started with Jacques-Frédéric Mugnier in 1999, to the iconic names like Vega-Sicilia and Sassicaia.

Our collection spans the globe, featuring over 116 producers, including some of South Africa's finest.

Discover a wine journey tailored just for you

Since the very beginning, our goal has been to focus on giving wine-lovers in South Africa the opportunity to buy and drink fine wine from some of the most revered domaines in Europe. Whether you're a seasoned wine enthusiast or just starting your journey, let us be your guide. 

Explore the world of wine, discover new favourites, learn all you can about this fascinating community, and obviously, just enjoy the mastery of every glass.
