Fossil Hills is a historic family estate nestled in the picturesque Breede Valley between Robertson and McGregor, South Africa. The property, known as Thornvilla farm, has been owned and operated by the Naudé family since 1950, spanning three generations of agricultural and winemaking expertise.
The estate derives its name from the remarkable discovery of ancient fossils on the property, dating back approximately 355 million years, adding a unique historical dimension to its already rich heritage. As a working wine farm, Fossil Hills continues its longstanding tradition of viticulture while offering visitors a diverse range of experiences.
The establishment provides farm-style accommodation, serving as a tranquil retreat where guests can immerse themselves in the natural beauty of the region, surrounded by stunning mountain views and the authentic rhythms of farm life. The property also functions as an events venue and offers guided wine walks ranging from one to three days, allowing visitors to explore the region's viticultural heritage while enjoying the scenic landscape.
