Nestled just a mere one hour’s drive from the vibrant city of Cape Town, the stunning Breedekloof Wine Valley consists of an impressive array of 22 wineries, a third of which are thriving cooperatives. The Breedekloof winelands stand as a beacon of viniculture in the Cape, boasting an illustrious reputation as one of the region's largest wine-producing archetypes.

 

Chenin Blanc represents 18% of all South Africa’s vineyards and 21% or one-fifth of all the wine made from Chenin in South Africa are planted in the Breedekloof Valley. The varietal has found its true home in our region, with a variety of soils and site-specific terroir lending itself to Chenin Blancs truly expressive of their particular corner of the Breedekloof. Rooted in a heritage of winemaking that spans generations, the valley's estates are predominantly in the hands of families reaching back six to seven generations.

 

The Breedekloof wine district received its Wine of Origin status in 2006.
