Lourensford Wine Estate
Jewel of the Cape Winelands
A magnificent estate nestled in the fertile bowl of the Helderberg Mountains. Lourensford Estate, founded in 1700, a proud history joins with a dynamic new vision to create a giant among South African wine producers. Utilising unique technology and reaping the benefits of global expertise and optimal terroir, the wines of Lourensford are becoming well-recognised icons of true style and sophistication.
Other attractions on the farm include a visit to the Coffee Roasting Company where coffee is freshly ground to order. In the Wine Tasting Centre all current vintages are available for sampling, can be partnered with a lovely cheese platter or for the sweet tooth, indulge in a chocolate tasting with hand-made Chocolates by Tomes and little shot glasses filled with honey liqueur.
