We believe that community is essential for everyone, everywhere. In a world where rapid change often erodes a sense of belonging, we aim to bring people together through our favorite catalyst—great wine. At Cape Bottle Room, we eliminate the pretense often associated with wine, focusing instead on its enjoyment and the vibrant culture of South Africa, a region that mirrors Austin’s creativity, community, and sustainability. Our goal is to make wine as approachable as beer—casual, low-pressure, and all about a great experience. Recognizing the lack of South African wine options in the U.S., we are committed to accelerating its presence through a dedicated tasting room and wine education, introducing Austinites and beyond to the excellence of this dynamic region.

Danya envisioned creating a business that embodies the spirit of Austin—distinct, dynamic, and forward-thinking. Her goal was not just to sell wine but to transform how people perceive it and integrate it into their daily lives. Through her leadership and vision, she has crafted a brand that redefines the role of wine, making it more accessible and relevant to everyone.
