Nabygelegen Private Cellar: 1712 Bovlei farm, Die Rageltjie Saturdays

Nabygelegen Private Cellar (“lying nearby”) sits on Bovlei Divisional Road, Wellington—land granted by Governor William Herlot in 1712, with early vineyards and fruit groves following soon after. Official and Go Wellington histories note stone implements found in deep soils, an old cellar building inscribed with an 1815 gable (last used for wine in 1934, now part of barrel maturation), and a modern fermentation cellar designed for gentle handling. Wined GPS 33°37'59.91"S 19°03'50.59"E matches the official contact GPS string. James McKenzie’s cellar story is part of the Wellington boutique narrative; treat people credits carefully and lean on current official contact names for bookings.

Opening hours and tasting (official)

Homepage and Contact agree on a clear structure:

  • Wine tasting at Die Rageltjie — Saturdays 10:00–15:00
  • Pre-book a platter to enjoy with tasting
  • Office & cellar: Mon–Thu 07:00–16:00; Fri 07:00–15:00
  • Contact page also: wine tastings by appointment; cheese platters available (pre-order)

Fee for the Saturday flight is not printed as a rand tariff on the pages fetched—enquire when booking. Do not invent tasting prices. Shop pages list bottle prices for current releases (e.g. Cabernet, Chenin, Merlot, Pinotage, Scaramanga red/white, Sauvignon Blanc, Lady Anna)—those e-commerce figures are for bottles, not tasting tickets. Old-vine Chenin (about four hectares of mature vines) and focused Merlot/Cabernet work sit at the heart of the published portfolio story.

Stay: self-catering farmhouse

Official Stay page: charming old farmhouse as a self-catering villa—private swimming pool, expansive gardens, two bedrooms, open living/dining, fully equipped kitchen, indoor fireplace, outdoor braai, French stove/oven, verandas with mountain and vineyard views. Pet-friendly. Guests can wander vineyards, fish at the dam, use Bovlei MTB tracks, and arrange a private wine tasting with the winemaker. Stay rates are not printed as a fixed card on the fetched Stay page—enquire. Book stay / tasting room via Kim Williams: info@nabygelegen.co.za, mobile +27 (0)61 102 1533, office +27 (0)21 873 7534.

Wines and venue notes

Portfolio on the live shop includes single cultivars and the Scaramanga blends (red: Cabernet–Merlot–Tempranillo; white: Chardonnay–Chenin–Verdelho), with Gilbert & Gaillard medal callouts printed beside some SKUs for 2025—those are on-page award strings, not invented here. Mission statement stresses vineyard-specific terroir, environmentally sound techniques, and ethical labour. Events/venue use of the farm is mentioned in brief notes; package detail is thin—enquire rather than invent wedding tariffs. No full restaurant or spa on official pages; cheese platters are the published food adjunct (pre-order). Vineyard walks and Bovlei MTB for guests are leisure access—not a wildlife safari product.

Social links on the official site: Facebook nabygelegenguesthouse, Instagram @nabygelegen.

Planning a Bovlei stop

Saturday Die Rageltjie 10:00–15:00 is the published public tasting window—pre-order platters. Midweek, request appointment tasting via Kim. Overnight guests get the fuller farm rhythm (pool, dam, vines, private tasting). Distinct from neighbouring Bovlei estates (Doolhof, Dunstone, Andreas); do not paste their restaurant menus onto Nabygelegen. From Cape Town, budget roughly an hour-plus depending on traffic via N1/R44/R301 into the Bovlei.
