The widest range of Darling Wines in the world.
Where wines are matched with people, places and occasions. We spend as much time getting to know our customers as we do getting to know the story behind each of our producers.
Christelle van der Vyver is the proud new owner of The Darling Wine Shop, taking the reins after years of running its daily operations alongside founder Charles Withington. Deeply rooted in the Swartland region and backed by a background in tourism and premium estates like Groote Post, Christelle brings a fierce passion for local commerce and storytelling to the business. Visitors will find her right at the heart of the shop—often next to its iconic red Fiat 500—ready to guide them through the region’s finest boutique wines, craft brandies, and regional treats.
