KWV6x Cathedral Cellar Triptych 2018

About

In 2018, KWV celebrated 100 years of excellence since it started trading in 1918. Centennial celebrations included many additional highlights that will carry the company into the next century. One of these was the opening of KWV’s spectacular Cathedral Cellar - originally built in 1930 - as a private events venue under the custodianship of KWV Ambassador Chef, Mynhardt Joubert. This beautiful space houses an impressive collection of thirty-two ‘stukvats’ measuring approximately 3 meters in circumference, serving as an imposing backdrop in a serene setting.
