The estate
Kleinood is a small, precious boutique farm in the Blaauwklippen Valley specializing in premium Rhône-style Syrah and artisanal farm products.
Nestled in the heart of the Cape Winelands in Stellenbosch, Kleinood Wine Estate is a hidden gem that exudes both elegance and authenticity. This small, twelve-hectare farm is a labour of love, with ten hectares devoted to cultivating fine vines and two dedicated to olive trees. The remaining land is left untouched or thoughtfully planted with fynbos, roses, and vegetables, showcasing the estate's deep respect for nature and heritage.
Every corner of Kleinood whispers the story of the De Villiers family and their rich legacy in the Cape and Boland. It's a place where history, identity, and care for the land converge to create something extraordinary.

About
Wine
The De Villiers name is synonymous with quality in the South African wine industry, and Kleinood continues this tradition with its renowned Tamboerskloof wines. Each bottle is crafted with a singular focus—creating wines that are personal, honest, and reflective of the farm's unique terroir. The winery at Kleinood is the beating heart of the estate, where science and passion work harmoniously to produce elegant, unpretentious wines. These wines don't boast about what's been done to them; instead, they speak of the land, the care, and the time invested in them. The result is a true expression of place, captured in every sip.
Dining
While Kleinood does not feature a restaurant, visitors can easily find exceptional dining options in nearby Stellenbosch, allowing them to complement their wine experience with the culinary delights the region is known for.
