Wellington Rural, Wellington, Western Cape

For Sale: Exceptional Heritage Wine Estate in Wellington | R75,200,000 (VAT Excl.)

It’s not every day that an opportunity arises to own a piece of South Africa’s winemaking history. As a property professional with a passion for character-rich estates, I’m proud to present this remarkable Cape Dutch wine estate – a true jewel nestled in the picturesque Groenberg foothills, just 4km outside Wellington.
This 298-hectare working farm is steeped in heritage, with a rich legacy of viticulture that continues to thrive. Approximately 88 hectares of vineyards are planted across varying elevations and microclimates, producing over 1,000 tonnes of grapes annually – an impressive mix of both red and white cultivars. The terroir here is something special: mountain folds and cool air pockets create ideal growing conditions, with some vineyards sitting up to 3°C cooler than the valley floor.
The estate is held across multiple title deeds and is offered for sale as a going concern – “lock, stock and barrel” – with all operational infrastructure in place, including:
±2,000m² wine cellar complex (±1,000-ton capacity) with a tasting room and full vinification, maturation, and storage facilities
Cape Dutch homestead (circa 1806): 3 en-suite bedrooms, lounge, dining room, modern kitchen, pool, and double garage
Additional residences: 2 manager’s houses, second main house (3-bed with pool), 120m² gate house
Office block with staff facilities and storage sheds
Extensive outbuildings, including the charming “Old Cellar”
168-panel solar system supporting sustainable operations
Water infrastructure: Boreholes, dams, and reservoirs ensuring reliable supply
The property is beautifully maintained, with established gardens and panoramic views over the Hawequa Mountains. Whether you’re expanding your agricultural portfolio or looking for a lifestyle investment steeped in tradition and potential, this estate offers it all.
