The estate
Blue Crane Vineyards is a boutique estate in the Tulbagh Valley producing award-winning, terroir-driven wines and premium extra-virgin olive oil.
One of the undiscovered gems that the owners are happy to share with their private clientele is Blue Crane Vineyards, which is located in the picturesque and highly sought-after district of Tulbagh. Beautiful scenery of the Witzenberg, Winterhoek, and Saronsberg mountains may be seen from this excellent site. After two were observed nesting close to the vineyards, the estate was given the national bird's name. Blue Crane Vineyards has produced a small variety of excellent terroir-driven wines with extraordinary smoothness by utilizing the distinctive diversity of the terrain.
