Oldenburg Wines Stellenbosch South Africa - Africa Travel Channel
Welcome to Oldenburg Vineyards in the Banghoek Valley in the Stellenbosch region less than an hour from Cape Town. We are located in the mountains just a few kilometres from the town of Stellenbosch. The region is considered the premium location for making high quality wines in South Africa with neighbours such as Thelema, Delaire and Tokara.
We make small quantities of both red and white wines only using grapes from the Estate. Careful study of our soils, temperatures, wind variations and sunlight aspects led us to planting Cabernet Sauvignon, Cabernet Franc, Syrah, Merlot, Chardonnay and Chenin Blanc plus a few smaller interesting blending varietals.

OLDENBURG VINERY HD 720p
Oldenburg Vineyards is an independent family run boutique winery aiming to make some of the finest and most respected wines.
Due to some heritage, careful planning, and a large amount of good fortune we are the custodians of a small corner of Stellenbosch, tucked away in the mountains in an area known as Banghoek. We believe we have some of the finest terroir in South Africa, with some magnificent views, and a truly unique and beautiful setting.
We handcraft small quantities of both red and white wines, using only grapes from our estate. Careful study of our soils, temperatures, wind variations and sunlight aspects led us to planting Cabernet Sauvignon, Cabernet Franc, Syrah, Merlot, Chardonnay and Chenin Blanc, plus a few interesting blending varietals.
Central to our belief is the fact that great wines only come from the highest quality grapes. What happens in our vineyards needs to be without compromise in order to deliver the potential offered by our mountain terroir. The stunning natural beauty of our location helps to inspire us to take a sustainable approach to the vineyards, our business, and the surrounding environment in general.
We believe that by sharing our farm with the many visitors that arrive, whether for a unique Cellar Door experience or for a stay at the stunningly situated Homestead, we are investing in the guest experience which enables them to connect with the vineyards and better understand our wines.
We also feel it important that those who work on the farm, their families, and our local community all need to grow and benefit from the journey that is Oldenburg Vineyards.
We invite you to share the beauty of our farm, our accommodation, our wines and our hospitality, and we trust you enjoy them as much as we do in providing them.

Annandale Vineyards, Stellenbosch, South Africa
This was my favorite of all of the vineyards we visited in Cape Town. It was very down to earth, and there was absolutely no high tech bullcrap to make themselves seem better than they are. The wine was the best of everywhere we went, and the people were amazing.
Rust en Vrede Wine Estate and Restaurant - Stellenbosch
Published on 12 Feb 2014
For 315 years Rust en Vrede has stood peacefully among the vineyards of Stellenbosch. Through centuries there were periods when wine was produced, but for the last 32 years our family have specialized in producing only red wine with the focus on Shiraz, Cabernet and Merlot.
Many accolades have been bestowed upon the estate and some of the more memorable were when Rust en Vrede was chosen by President Nelson Mandela to be served at the Nobel Peace Prize dinner and hosting the Queen of Denmark for a lunch with my family at the Manor House. Rust en Vrede was nominated as the first South African red wine in the Top 100 Wines of the World and repeated this achieved for four consecutive years.
Today Rust en Vrede continues to be a fine example of what Stellenbosch is all about and we will strive to be a driving force in promoting our wines, our region and ultimately our country.
You are always welcome at Rust en Vrede and on behalf of my family and colleagues, we are looking forward to your visit.
