Welcome to the home of Pinotage! At Beyerskloof everything we do is a reflection of the climate,terroir and community of this special piece of earth. Distinguished winemaker, cellar master and “Pinotage King” Beyers Truter, together with his team, continuously strive to produce wines of exceptional character. Beyerskloof is South Africa's top selling, most popular and loved producer of bottled Pinotage (South Africa's very own cultivar) and renowned for producing excellent, multi-award winning wines. Drop by to enjoy a superb wine selection, scrumptious food and a relaxed atmosphere – all uniquely South African.

Celebrating a winemaking legacy of more than four decades, Simonsig, a pioneering landmark in the premier Stellenbosch wine region, is one of South Africa’s mostprominent wine dynasties, noted worldwide for its devotion to quality and innovation. Named after the spectacular views of the Simonsberg, this legendary wine estate is boasting a myriad of significant ‘firsts’. Visit this unique working wine cellar, enhanced by daily wine tastings, guided cellar tours and a ceremonial sabrage that will make for an authentic wine experience.

Delheim, in the Simonsberg Ward near Stellenbosch, is owned by the legendary 'Spatz' Sperling and his family, and produces a wide range of internationally acclaimed wines. German gemütlichkeit is the order of the day at this beautiful property. Taste wines in the quaint 'Downstairs' wine cellar, and take a cellar tour to see where the wines are made. The restaurant oers dishes ranging from cheese platters to traditional South African food. Eat al fresco on the garden terraces in summer enjoying the marvellous view across to Table Mountain in the distance, or cosy up inside by the fireplace in winter.

Lievland is a charming estate with a long history of winemaking. Wine tastings are conducted in the historic manor house, which dates back to 1865. The tasting room veranda overlooks the rolling vineyards, where guests can enjoy a charcuterie plate while tasting the wines. The adjoining Lievland Café also serves delectable lunches in a relaxed setting. Lievland is best known for the award-winning premium Rosé, which wine critic Tim Atkin has named South African Rosé of the Year multiple times. Also popular are the Old-Vine Chenin Blanc and the Bush-Vine Pinotage.

Founded in 1812, Remhoogte (Dutch for ‘Brake Heights’) is situated on the steep South Western slopes of the famous Simonsberg Mountain in Stellenbosch. With the terroir being perfectly suited for the production of top end red wines the focus is on Bordeaux varietals as well as South Africa’s own Pinotage. On the white wines the focus is on Chenin Blanc produced from old vines, a cultivar that performs incredibly well in this region. Everything is done by hand in the vineyards and cellar with the help of eight families who live and work on the estate. We have set aside a third of the estate to the Western Capes indigenous flora and fauna.
