Just an hour away from Cape Town city centre, you’ll find the charming, old-world vineyard and wine estate, Wildekrans. The focus of this quaint wine estate lies very much in creating a fully home-grown product.

Wildekrans is a boutique winery so everything from the planting, harvesting, ageing, bottling and labelling is done on site – this is exactly what makes Wildekrans a world-class wine destination.

The estate, located on rolling hills overlooking Walker Bay is unique in this part of the country. The estate was originally a mixed farming operation, but today produces some of the finest wines not just in South Africa, but the world over.

In fact, the Wildekrans wine estate is a story in itself, having clinched a myriad awards for its quality both in South Africa and on international platforms. Wildekrans boasts three ranges of sumptuous wines; the Caresse Marine, the Estate Range, and the Barrel Select, the premium range, aged in barrels.

Each of these ranges in turn produces a collection of Sauvignon Blanc, Chenin Blanc, Rose, Pinotage, Merlot and Shiraz.

Other products on the farm include a fruit orchard, Olives and more recently canola.

Situated at the banks of the Bot River and offering views of the distant mountains, Endless Vineyards at Wildekrans Wine Estate features self-catering cottages with terrace on a working wine farm. A pool is available on site.

The spacious cottages come with a fully equipped kitchen, seating and dining area, and a bathroom with bath and shower. All are equipped with a satellite flat-screen TV. Guests can unwind in the outdoor pool.

Endless Vineyards offers wine tastings and cellar tours and also has business and banquet facilities. Activities on the farm include hiking, cycling and swimming. The Arabella Golf estate is 15 minutes' drive away.

Endless Vineyards at Wildekrans Wine Estate is 76 km from Cape Town International Airport and airport shuttles can be arranged for a surcharge.
