Approximately 110 kilometres from Cape Town, nestled amidst breathtaking panoramic views of the Tulbagh Valley, lies Oudekloof Wine Estate. Steeped in history, the estate and its neighbouring mountain pass were once a vital gateway for early settlers venturing into the fertile valley. Oudekloof Farm boasts a rich legacy of nearly 300 years, showcasing a deep respect for the land.
Oudekloof honours its heritage through sustainable farming practices. Over half of the estate’s vast 340 hectares is dedicated to preserving indigenous wildlife and fynbos vegetation. While they don’t produce their bottled wines, the grapes cultivated here contribute to award-winning selections from local boutique cellars.
Savour delicious meals while enjoying the breathtaking scenery. Oudekloof’s restaurant features a fantastic outdoor seating area, perfect for soaking in the valley views. Their menu offers a variety of options, from tempting pizza specials to classic steak and chips, schnitzels, and more.
