Aa Badenhorst Family Wines

Aa Badenhorst Family Wines operates from Kalmoesfontein, a working family-owned wine farm nestled against the Paardeberg mountain in the Swartland region of South Africa. Located just 75km from Cape Town, the estate offers an authentic farm experience while remaining easily accessible.

The property features several accommodation options, including the historic Winemakers Cottage, a converted Silo Room, the Stables Cottage, and the Melkammer. Each accommodation has been thoughtfully renovated to provide modern comforts while maintaining the farm's rustic charm. The venues are equipped with essential amenities and showcase stunning views across the Swartland vineyards.

The farm hosts regular events throughout the year, including First Friday pizza nights featuring live music performances, wine tastings, and special seasonal celebrations. Their annual Swartland Gospel event brings international wine personalities to share their knowledge and experience with visitors.

Beyond wine production, Kalmoesfontein has expanded its offerings to include a farm shop (Die Winkel), ceramic studio, and various agricultural activities. The property provides guests with opportunities to experience farm life, including swimming in the dams, exploring the vineyards, and enjoying spectacular Swartland sunsets.

The estate represents the traditional winemaking approach of Adi Badenhorst, situated in a region known for its rolling wheat fields, canola blooms, and rich birdlife. The farm serves as an ideal base for exploring the broader Swartland wine region and accessing the West Coast, combining wine tourism with authentic farm hospitality.
