Company info

If Knorhoek Valley has captured your senses – from the Simonsberg that creates a natural amphitheatre behind the estate to the sounds of country life – the it remains for us to give you a taste of the terroir with our range of Knorhoek wines as well as the Nymysto range. Either spend a lazy afternoon tasting through all the wines or chose to refresh with the white wine or indulge with the reds

Property info

The wine estate has a long history dating back to 1793. Early family custodians of the land knew of the rich water source here and the potential to produce bountiful and highly sort-after harvests Situated in the world-famous Cape Winelands region of Stellenbosch, the farm is 200 hectares with 62 ha under vines. If you’ve chosen one of Knorhoek’s two luxury self-catering cottages, pad through barefoot to a well-appointed kitchen and prepare your first coffee of the day. Relax on the stoep and watch the light. Your low-walled garden leads directly into the farm where vineyards, depending on the season, will either be heavy with bunches of ripe grapes ready for the harvest or perhaps the vines are turning russet to signal autumn. If you’re staying in one of our eight en suite bedrooms, prepare for one of our farmhouse breakfasts that will have you fuelled and ready for an active day either exploring the 200-ha farm or Stellenbosch and surrounds. Then again, you might simply pick up your book or camera and laze about the lawns under ancient oaks and avenues of Poplar trees planted by the families who lived and worked here over the centuries.
