About Ellerman House
Ellerman House, perched above the Atlantic in Bantry Bay, is synonymous with understated luxury, seamlessly blending South African heritage with world-class hospitality. Beyond its breathtaking views and carefully curated art collection, the hotel’s wine program is a standout feature, overseen by sommelier Manuel Cabello.
With a deep passion for South African wines, Cabello curates an exceptional selection that highlights both iconic estates and small, cutting-edge producers.

Cabello’s approach is as refined as the setting – his recommendations feel effortless yet deeply considered, making each pairing a discovery. Whether it’s a Swartland Syrah with dinner or a rare vintage Bordeaux from the international selection, his guidance ensures an experience as memorable as the surroundings.
What’s more, Ellerman House’s dedication to showcasing South African wine at its finest, paired with Cabello’s thoughtful curation, cements it as one of Cape Town’s premier destinations for discerning wine lovers.
