The Wine Cellar
The wines of Zevenwacht Estate are distinguished by their finely crafted elegance and classic style. Our winemaker, Hagen Viljoen, honors the centuries-old wine-making traditions, yet is boldly innovative, welcoming the contribution that modern technology makes to the vinification of premier wines.
The Vineyards
Covering 100 hectares of the 500 hectare property, the vineyards of Zevenwacht are ideally situated for the growing of quality grapes. Extending up the slopes of the Ribbokrant, the south and south-west facing vineyards are protected from the intense heat of summer afternoons by the Bottelary Hills and cooled by the sea breezes “blowing off” nearby Table Bay and False Bay. Characterized by good quality, varied soils, the vineyards have been selectively planted with red and white noble varietals.
Cellar Tours
Experience at first hand the artistry and technical skill that transform grapes into fine wine. Visitors are welcome to tour the cellar by appointment.
Wine Tasting
Savour the pleasure of sampling wines on their home ground, within sight of the vines on which they grew and of the cellar in which they were produced and matured. Open seven days a week.
Over and above a standard wine tasting, visitors can tantalise their taste buds further by enjoying delicious chocolate and wine pairings or cheese and wine tastings paired with the traditional cow's milk cheeses, available at the delicatessen.
We also offer the convenience of having your wine selections delivered to your door when you return from your travels. This service (currently available for Europe, the UK and USA) is managed by our Online Store partners, specialists in cellar-to-door wine services.
