The estate
Capelands Wine Farm is a boutique estate in Somerset West offering a blend of Italian hospitality and premium South African winemaking.
Nestled in the scenic hills of Somerset West near Stellenbosch, Capelands Wine Farm is a hidden gem where Italian hospitality meets the natural beauty of the Cape Winelands. More than just a winery, Capelands is a place where guests can experience the warmth of a family-run estate, indulge in authentic farm-to-table dining, and relax in the tranquillity of a countryside retreat. With breathtaking mountain vistas, vineyard landscapes, and ocean views, this 12.5-hectare estate offers a unique escape for those seeking fine wine, exquisite cuisine, and a touch of rustic luxury.
Wine
Capelands is a tribute to time-honoured Italian winemaking traditions, where passion and craftsmanship shape every bottle. Under the expert guidance of founder Johann Innerhofer, each vintage is carefully curated to showcase the unique character of the land. The estate's boutique wines, including the signature Redstone and Whitestone, reflect a commitment to quality—grapes are hand-harvested early to preserve their natural acidity and matured in select oak barrels to enhance their depth and complexity. The result is a collection of wines that balance elegance and vibrancy, offering an unforgettable tasting experience.
Dining
At Trattoria at Capelands, every meal is a celebration of Italy's rich culinary heritage. Inspired by traditional family recipes, the menu highlights homemade pasta, Roman-style pizzas, fresh salads, and organic meats and seafood. Ingredients are carefully sourced, with many picked straight from the estate's garden, ensuring freshness and authenticity in every bite. Guests can dine in the cosy indoor setting or soak up the vineyard views from the outdoor terrace, where the warm ambience and exceptional food create an experience to be savoured.
