The inside track
The estate

Nestled in the heart of Paarl, a picturesque town within the Cape Winelands, KWV Wine Emporium offers a unique blend of history, award-winning wines, and captivating experiences. Founded in 1918, the same year as South Africa's first democratically elected president, Nelson Mandela, KWV has played a pivotal role in shaping the country's wine industry. Their story is intricately woven into the fabric of South Africa's journey, and a visit to KWV offers a glimpse into this fascinating legacy.
