High Constantia Wine Cellar lies nestled amidst the lush greenery of the Constantia Valley, South Africa's premier wine-growing region. This boutique winery boasts a rich history dating back to 1693 when it was part of the Dutch East India Company outpost known as Wittebomen. Today, under the passionate leadership of David van Niekerk, High Constantia is experiencing a renaissance with newly planted vineyards and a renewed commitment to crafting elegant wines that honour the estate's heritage.
