The Darling Wine Shop

Your one-stop shop in the centre of Darling where you can buy virtually any Darling wines, and most at cellar door prices.
(14)

The wines of Darling are blessed with the consistency of quality due to their viticulture location and yet a diversity of style that makes them all so different. With scarcely half a dozen producers there is a lot to explore! There is however a practical side to a visitors “route of exploration” in that in typical Darling diversity, the vineyards are located in four different directions from the c

entre of the town. To visit all the Vineyards in one-day is possible but not always practical, and this is what has inspired Darling négociant Charles Withington to come up with the idea of the Darling Wine Shop - a one-stop shop in the centre of Darling where one could buy virtually the entire range of any of the Darling wines, and at cellar door prices. From his many years of experience in wineries and “re-inventing” of a few Cellar Door Tasting rooms, Charles realises the criticality of having the right staff to make it work. One would not think so, but the majority of the questions asked by the visitors are not “wine technical” but more about wine in general and the area in general. ( I once did a presentation on “50 questions you Cellar Door staff should be able to answer” and found it amazing how many answer to “simple” questions were not forthcoming.) The staff of the Darling Shop all live in Darling and over and above a good local wine knowledge, have a good knowledge of surrounding areas too, and this is greatly appreciated by the visitors. We stock the wines of Cloof, Darling Cellars, Fairview, Groote Post, Neil Ellis and Withington. The Darling Wine Shop also provides the opportunity for the many, many visitors to Darling who come to see Evita, explore the flowers, and experience the Voorkamerfest, and who are invariably lovers of good wine and fine food, to be able to source these delights right here in the centre of the village, saving them time and travel. The Darling wine shop also provides a host of other possibilities :

• Professional, knowledgeable & friendly service.
• Road freight delivery nationwide
• International wine delivery service
• Customised gift packs
• Fresh West Coast mussels on order
• Themed and paired wine tastings by arrangement
• Monthly newsletter with interesting facts, new wine releases, special offerings and exclusive invites.

PUTTING DARLING BACK ON THE MAP
The flower season is fast approaching, and we have little time. For us in Darling, flower time is like the snoek time for our fisherman – if you do not harvest when the fish are biting, you are in for a miserable year ahead. As business owners and members of Darling Tourism, we want people to know where they have arrived and to welcome them with a heart-warming: HELLO DARLING and we need more effective signage at our village entrance.

We are in the process of tweaking the existing display to clearly and unequivocally shout the message HELLO DARLING. The example above is concept but not final

This urgency of this project necessitates a little fundraiser. Get your raffle ticket at the Darling Wine Shop NOW

Darlington Gin
The taste of the Kukumakranka is as subtle and mystical as the plant itself. Maybe the best analogy is that of an orchestra performing on stage – in DARLINGTON the gin is the orchestra and the Kukumakranka the conductor – an essential to the performance, from whom you hear nothing and yet without whom it could not happen.
