Hartenberg Wine Estate
On the slopes of Bottelary Hills near Stellenbosch lies Hartenberg Wine Estate, a family-owned vineyard boasting award-winning wines amidst picturesque scenery. Established in 1692, it began with 2000 vines, flourishing to 10,000 by 1718. Summers offer picnics on lush lawns, while winters invite fireside lunches with rich reds, charcuterie, and cellar tours. Delight in local seasonal produce and explore 60 hectares of conserved wetlands alongside the vineyards. Experience the estate’s history, craftsmanship, and natural beauty through wine tastings, underground cellar tours, and leisurely walks amidst serene surroundings.
As any wine lover would attest to, not all wines are created equal. The realm of boutique wines caters to those wine lovers who take their enjoyment of wine seriously, and who delight in the wonderful flavours and aromas that a skilled boutique winemaker is able to create. Welcome to the world of Mitre’s Edge Wine Estate.
Mitres Edge Boutique Winery
Family-owned and managed boutique winery, Mitre’s Edge, is nestled at the foothills of the Simonsberg Mountain, between Paarl and Stellenbosch. It is in this beautiful setting that winemaker Lola Nicholls, assisted by husband Bernard, focuses on producing relatively smaller quantities of high-quality, award-winning wines.
