Duikersdrift Winelands Country Escape

Duikersdrift Winelands Country Escape is a boutique wine and olive farm nestled in the Tulbagh Valley, Western Cape, South Africa, located 90 minutes from Cape Town. The estate offers a perfect blend of luxury accommodations and natural beauty, surrounded by spectacular mountain views of the Saronsberg range.

The property features four luxury farm cottages, each designed with a sophisticated blend of rustic charm and modern amenities. Each standalone Cape Dutch-style cottage is equipped with backup power, air conditioning, heating, WiFi, smart TV, and private outdoor patios with fireplaces. The couples' cottages include the additional luxury of wood-fired hot tubs, while all accommodations offer panoramic mountain views.

Opening in November 2024, Daphne's Bistro will serve authentic Italian cuisine, including handmade pasta and wood-fired pizzas, offering both indoor and al fresco dining options. The restaurant includes a children's play area and showcases farm and mountain vistas, making it an ideal destination along the Tulbagh Wine Route.

The estate produces its own signature wines, including Syrah, Cabernet Sauvignon/Shiraz Blend, Chenin Blanc, and Cape Ruby Port, as well as award-winning extra virgin olive oil. Visitors can enjoy informal outdoor wine tastings on the dam lawn, though these services will be temporarily suspended during October 2024 for renovations.

Activities available on the 34-hectare property include hiking and cycling trails through vineyards and olive orchards, fishing at the dam, picnicking, and swimming in the guest pool. The farm also hosts a weekly Parkrun on Saturdays and provides access to numerous adventures in the surrounding Tulbagh region, catering to both leisure and active visitors.
