Hazendal Wine Estate
Stretched across the Bottelary Hills in the Stellenbosch winelands, just 30 minutes from Cape Town, Hazendal wine estate is a world-class destination offering accommodation, culture, cuisine, golf and entertainment for the entire family. Hazendal was bought in 1994 by the farm's current owner and underwent an extensive restoration and redevelopment in 2018. The Estate reopened as a multi-faceted winelands destination, bringing together the farm's rich history and heritage with contemporary design, diverse venues and innovative ideas. As one of the oldest estates in the Bottelary Hills, Hazendal boasts a long tradition of winemaking excellence and crafting wines that truly express the coastal terroir of this unique corner of South Africa's wineland.
