Lourensford Estate, established in the year 1700 and once part of Willem Adriaan van der Stel's Vergelegen, is arguably one of the most beautiful wine estates in the world. Steeped in history and heritage, the estate also boasts an ultra-modern winery utilising technology unique in the Southern Hemisphere. The magnificent soils and diverse micro-climates create the ideal terroir for world-beating
wines. Lourensford is fast-becoming one of the sought after wine estates in South Africa, with over 130 hectares of vines already planted. Other than 135 hectares of quality vineyards, the estate also produce apples, pears and plums in abundance.The property spans 4000 hectares of earth, bordered by the significant mountain ranges of the Helderberg and Hottentots Holland and 8 km from the ocean, all of which combine to give us the luxury of choice when it comes to picking the perfect terroir for planting. Lourensford has almost 200 hectares under fruit, all of which is packed in our very own packshed that also packs fruit from other producers in Southern Africa. Our beautiful mountain slopes are covered by our pine plantations, spanning approximately 900 hectares. We also cultivate trout to stock our exclusive fly-fishing club. People drive from afar to come and stock up on their coffee from the roastery on site and also enjoy the delicious meals on offer at our Millhouse Kitchen restaurant.
