The estate
One of the largest and most respected cellars in the Worcester region, established 1954 — where tradition meets innovation and quality wine is made accessible to all.
Located just 8km from Worcester along the R43 towards Villiersdorp, Aan de Doorns Winery stands as one of the largest and most respected cellars in the Worcester region. Established in 1954, the cellar takes its name from the stretch of thorn trees lining the nearby Doorns River. With decades of experience, a forward-thinking philosophy, and a strong commitment to innovation, Aan de Doorns has carved out a reputation for excellence in viticulture and accessible, high-quality winemaking. Today, the cellar continues to thrive with a large collective of member farms and a proud partnership in the First Cape Group—one of the leading wine brands in the UK.
Aan de Doorns Winery is a proud representation of South African winemaking heritage—where tradition meets innovation, and quality is made accessible to all. Whether you're stopping by for a Saturday tasting, picking up a few bottles to take home, or exploring the beauty of the Worcester wine region, Aan de Doorns offers a welcoming, down-to-earth experience for wine lovers of all levels.
Wine
Aan de Doorns Winery produces a broad range of consistently enjoyable and affordable wines, made from carefully selected vineyards across approximately 1,600 hectares of vines on 27 farms. The vineyards span the fertile regions of Aan de Doorns, Eilandia, and Scherpenheuwel, each contributing its own nuance to the final product. Known for producing value-driven wines without compromising on quality, the cellar focuses on classic varietals that are crafted with precision and care. The result is a lineup of wines that are approachable, versatile, and appreciated both locally and internationally.
Dining
While Aan de Doorns Winery does not feature a full-service restaurant, visitors are welcome to enjoy the relaxed surroundings with a glass of wine and light refreshments during events or scheduled tastings. Guests are encouraged to explore Worcester's nearby eateries for a more extensive dining experience.
