The estate
Raka Wine is a family-owned estate nestled in the Kleinrivier Mountains near Stanford, renowned for its award-winning wines and gravity-flow cellar.
Steeped in a unique narrative, Raka Wine is a testament to the spirit of family and a profound reverence for the land. Nestled on the slopes of the Simonsberg mountains near Caledon and on the Stanford Wine Route, Raka beckons wine enthusiasts with its promise of exceptional quality and a warm embrace. The brainchild of Piet Dreyer, a seasoned sailor who immortalized his beloved fishing boat in the winery’s name, Raka carries forward the family’s heritage of crafting exquisite wines, all while upholding a steadfast commitment to sustainable practices.
