Vergelegen, Wine estate in Western Cape, South Africa
The Vergelegen estate spans over 3000 hectares, with 106 hectares of vineyards producing wines and 2240 hectares dedicated to natural biodiversity initiatives.
Willem Adriaan van der Stel established the estate in 1700, using Dutch East India Company resources to develop it into a significant agricultural property.
The estate preserves Cape Dutch architecture through its octagonal winery, historic homestead, and original structures including the mill ruins and slave lodge site.
The estate opens daily from 09:30 to 16:00, offering wine tastings, guided tours, dining options at multiple restaurants, and seasonal gourmet picnic experiences.
The property maintains several camphor trees planted in the early 1700s, which rank among the oldest living trees in South Africa.
