Cape Town - Lourensford Wine Estate

 Lourenford Wine Estate was originally part of Vergelegen (established in 1709) 

It's a fun place to visit for all - children are most welcome.  The gardens change with the seasons and are a delight during spring.

Over week-ends there is a large market area with a variety of vendors offering food, drinks and craft market goodies. For those who prefer a more sedate dining experience the restaurant offers an excellent menu and pleasant service. Children are welcome. There is also a coffee shop for lighter meals.

The beer lovers are not forgotten on this estate - walk awhile and you will spot the way to the Abru Craft Brewery located inside the Motor Studio. Admire the classic cars - mainly red ones! - whilst sipping on your beer. Plus some other bits and pieces to make you feel nostalgic? Maybe!

The current (2022) Anton Smit Art Route is spread out on the estate and there is no charge to view the many pieces. All artwork is for sale; so if something really grabs your fancy and you find it would be impossible to leave without a purchase, you can hand over your credit card.

Bottom line, this is a great wine estate to visit and especially over week-ends when it is very busy and the vibe is awesome. Don't be put off by the huge amount of cars in the parking area over week-ends.

There is ample space for everybody around the estate and we didn't feel overwhelmed as there is so much to see and do.
