West Coast cellar on the Olifants River — cool-climate wines, tasting room, and restaurant overlooking the dam.

Nestled along the fertile banks of the Olifants River and cooled by the fresh Atlantic breeze, Lutzville Vineyards is one of the West Coast’s best-kept secrets. With a winemaking heritage that dates back to the 1700s, this estate is a cornerstone of the West Coast Wine Route. Today, Lutzville is home to over 50 producers cultivating more than 1,800 hectares of vineyards, all thriving in the region’s unique microclimates. These conditions—warm days, cool nights, ideal soils, and coastal influences—give rise to wines that are elegant, fruit-forward, and unmistakably expressive of their origin.
As the custodians of the Classic Lutzville, Diamond, and François Le Vaillant collections, the estate combines tradition, innovation, and exceptional terroir to create wines that are both approachable and memorable.
