The estate
Klein Parys Vineyards is one of the oldest and most historic wine estates in Paarl, offering award-winning wines, scenic tastings, and dining at the iconic Oppiestoep restaurant.
Klein Parys Vineyards, one of Paarl's oldest and most celebrated wine estates, blends history, heritage, and modern elegance in the heart of the Cape Winelands. Established in 1692, this 56-hectare estate was originally granted to the Le Roux family by Governor Willem Adriaan van der Stel, marking it as a cornerstone of the region's rich wine tradition. Today, under the expertise of world-renowned winemaker Kosie Möller, Klein Parys has become a destination for wine lovers seeking exceptional quality and authentic charm. Just 60km from Cape Town, Paarl—aptly nicknamed the "Pearl of the Cape"—offers visitors an inviting escape into a world of rolling vineyards, historic buildings, and award-winning wines.

Wine
Klein Parys is a testament to passion, precision, and innovation.
