Bookings are open for a new, one-day, 12-km guided hike.

The first hike takes place on Saturday 15 March and is thereafter offered twice a month, weather permitting.

Hikers will enjoy access to areas of the 3000-hectare property not usually open to the public, where they can discover the estate’s diverse flora and fauna.

The route, set against a spectacular backdrop of the Helderberg and Hottentots Holland mountain ranges, traverses:

• Manor house and gardens: Vergelegen is a provincial heritage site, and the route starts in the historic precinct for hikers to admire the lush gardens and beautiful homestead.
• Lourens River and orchards: The trail leads to the Lourens River, where a section of land is a Protected Natural Environment, then passes through orchards.
• Nguni cattle grazing areas: The route continues into the grazing area of the docile Nguni cattle herd – numbering about 400 indigenous cattle with spectacular multi-coloured hides – and resident bontebok.
• Fynbos biome: Vergelegen is home to the largest privately funded alien vegetation clearing project in South Africa. Find out more about this visionary conservation initiative, and view fynbos, wetlands and renosterbos.
• Game camp: Hike alongside the fenced game camp, with possible sightings of wildlife such as eland, rare Rau quagga, black wildebeest and small antelope.
• Champagne tree: This marks the end of the hiking trail where, weather permitting, hikers are treated to a glass of Vergelegen Cap Classique and wine tasting while enjoying views of the surrounding mountain ranges and over False Bay.
• Vineyards and wine cellar: Hikers are taken by game vehicle to the nearby hilltop wine cellar for a cellar tour.

Finish off with a three-course, a la carte lunch at the Stables bistro-style restaurant, with wine. The full cost of R2900/person also includes a branded cap and water bottle, plus a bottle of Florence rosé wine to take home.

Tours are led by Frank Dwyer, an experienced hiking guide and tourism expert with a deep-rooted passion for showcasing South Africa’s natural beauty and rich heritage. Dwyer was born and raised in Somerset West, where his father farmed in the 1960s and 1970s, and he developed an early appreciation of the region’s landscape, history, wine and culture.

While the route is not difficult there are some strenuous uphill sections and descents where hikers need to take care on loose gravel. Hikers are advised to wear appropriate footwear or hiking boots.

The new Vergelegen Trail offers a captivating full-day guided 13km hike across the estate. Guests will have the unique opportunity to explore the farm’s rich history, discover its diverse flora and fauna, and enjoy breathtaking panoramic vistas. This immersive experience grants access to hidden gems of the property that are typically closed to the public, making it a must-do for nature lovers and history enthusiasts alike.

Hosted by experienced guide, Frank Dwyer, the hike starts in the historic precinct of the farm and takes guests on meandering jeep tracks over the property concluding with a VIP wine tasting in a secret location. A 3-course wine lunch will end off a fantastic day. Guests will also be treated to a Vergelegen Trail 'essentials' kit on arrival and will receive a bottle of Florence Rosé to take home.

Available Dates: 15 & 29 March; 12 & 26 April; 10 & 24 May
Cost: R2900pp | Only 8 people per date can be accommodated, so book now to avoid disappointment.

The wait is over, and our sunflowers are finally starting to bloom! The fields are coming alive with vibrant yellow flowers, and it's a sight worth seeing.

From this Saturday, the flush of flowers will fill the fields with happy yellow and green hues. Don't wait too long — we encourage you to visit soon to catch them at their best!

We have also created a beautiful Rosé in celebration of the sunflowers (a portion of all the proceeds will go to bee research on the farm). Purchase a bottle of this delicious wine and a bright bunch of sunflowers for just R150— the perfect way to take home a beautiful piece of the season. Available in our tasting room for the duration of the season from Saturday, 25 January.

Join us and experience the magic of the sunflower fields. We can't wait to welcome you soon!
