You would be mistaken to pass this hidden gem by. The friendly winemaker Hendrik Snyman will greet you warmly and introduce you to their range of Méthode Cap Classique and Champagnes.
Hendrik met his business partner Jean-Pierre Charbaut and his wife after he applied for a winemaking job on his farm in Champagne. He gained ample work experience in the craft of winemaking, French culture and secrets of making fine champagne. In 2008, they decided to invest in a portion of Stellenbosch land. And that’s how Chabivin was born. In 2009, Hendrik began managing Chabivin full time and continued travelling to France to improve his knowledge of winemaking.
What was once an unruly garden is now a beautiful garden and renovated tasting room and a MCC maturation cellar. The Mademoiselle Megan is a single varietal sparkling wine made from Chardonnay which is bottle fermented and matured for four years.
Delight yourself in our bubbly, local brewed beers and light lunches on the Helderberg slopes. Enjoy the live music whilst you sip on a Champagne of Guy Charbaut or a local MCC.
