The Mission
Secret Cellar Box was created to showcase the wonderful wines of our country to everyone and anyone that enjoys good wine. We are passionate about our wine, and take such joy in sharing our new finds with friends, family and clients. Instead of reaching for your usual dinner wine, let us guide you to find something spectacular - all in your price range.
We want to show you something different. Something that you would not be able to get in the average bottle store. Something you can explore and enjoy.
We want to show you the wines you want.
From The Founder
If you’ve found your way here, chances are you love wine - or at least you’re curious enough to want to explore it. Either way, welcome.
I’ll be honest: I didn’t grow up swirling vintage Bordeaux in crystal glasses. My wine journey began much like many South Africans’ - with the affordable Papsak. Over time, thanks to a few generous wine lovers, I discovered that the best wines aren’t always the most expensive or famous. They’re often hidden away in lesser known vineyards, crafted in smaller batches with care and passion.
That’s why I started Secret Cellar Collective. To make discovering these hidden gems easy, fun, and unpretentious. Here, wine is about people, stories, and shared moments.
So, here’s my promise to you:
I’ll keep searching for the extraordinary in the unexpected, and I hope you’ll join me - glass in hand.
Cheers,
Sherilee Portela
Founder
