Hillcrest Wine Estate

The vineyards of Hillcrest Wine Estate benefit from their proximity to the Atlantic Ocean, which imparts a refreshing coolness and allows for a gradual ripening period. This extended ripening time ensures that the grapes reach optimal phenolic ripeness while maintaining a balanced acidity, resulting in wines that boast pronounced fruit flavours and the potential for graceful ageing.

Hillcrest Estate proudly presents three distinct wine ranges: The Hillcrest Estate range, showcasing Sauvignon Blanc, Rosé, and a lightly oaked red blend; the Saartjie single-vineyard range, offering exceptional Semillon, Malbec, Cabernet Franc, and Petit Verdot wines; and the flagship Atlantic Slopes Range, featuring The Quarry Merlot, The Hornfels Bordeaux blend, and Atlantic Slopes Sauvignon Blanc.

Nestled amidst rolling hills and picturesque vineyards, Hillcrest Restaurant on Hillcrest Wine Estate offers a cosy haven for guests to indulge in. With its warm ambience, it has long been a beloved gathering place for families and friends. Renowned for its award-winning wines, olives, and olive oil, the restaurant boasts a unique revolving wood-fired pizza oven and the Havoc BBQ Braai pit, embodying the farm-to-table experience. Every dish is crafted with locally sourced ingredients and infused with Italian inspiration and Mediterranean flair.

Hillcrest Wine Estate invites wine enthusiasts to enjoy a tasting at their picturesque estate, and for those looking for a venue, the Hillcrest Quarry is a must.
