Here, you will see how we put our ethos ‘Terra Est Vita’ – soil is life into practice. Against the picturesque backdrop of the Klein Drakenstein mountains, you can enjoy further tastings of our other hand-crafted, classic wines right in the particular vineyard blocks where the grapes were grown.

The journey concludes with a return to the Tasting Gallery where you can relax and enjoy the view or browse the latest artworks on exhibition.
