Bonnievale
Workers’ Empowerment Trust An initiative overseen by an equal number of workers and managers alike the Trust facilitates numerous projects geared to the financial empowerment of our workforce with all proceeds for the workers’ own profit. The fundamental objective
of this program is empowerment through knowledge and tutoring,
and it is particularly gratifying to note the upward progression
in the workers’ personal and financial development. 2009 Good news in our Golden year Jolene Calitz-Le
Roux, winemaker at Bonnievale Wine Cellar, was awarded the “best
other white wine” at the Robertson Young Wine Maker of the year
show as well as the National Class Winner for her Nouvelle. These
grapes originate from Boesmansdrift Boerdery.

2010
Bonnievale Cellar
has won so many awards through the years that we decided a new & improved
tasting room would be fitting. We feel that the Cellar is moving into
a new era with our wines and that it needs to be accentuated by our tasting
room. The Cellar relays tons of history and memories which will still
be displayed in our new and improved tasting room. The new tasting room
will be a testimony of how much the Cellar has grown since 1964.
We hope that with our changes guests will be able to enjoy our wine in
a more relaxed & modern atmosphere. With our hospitality and friendliness
we hope that guests will remember their Bonnievale Cellar experience.
Bonnievale Cellar is 2010! The Natural Selection!
