The estate
Paul Wallace Wines is a family-owned boutique estate in the heart of the Elgin Valley, producing cool-climate, terroir-driven wines and offering charming self-catering farm cottage accommodation.
Wallovale Vineyards, the home of Paul Wallace Wines, is a family-owned treasure tucked away in the picturesque Elgin region of South Africa. Paul and Nicky Wallace embarked on this journey in 2003, transforming a 25-hectare farm into their very own piece of paradise. Paul’s expertise as a viticultural consultant found its true expression in the cool-climate region of Elgin, known for apples and pears, but fast emerging as an exciting wine destination, both locally and internationally.

The estate’s dedication to winemaking is reflected in its commitment to quality and innovation.
