Marianne Wine Estate, located in the Stellenbosch region of South Africa's Western Cape, embodies a unique fusion of South African terroir and French expertise. The estate features two state-of-the-art boutique wineries dedicated to producing hand-crafted wines that blend French styling with South African characteristics. Their winemaking philosophy emphasizes minimal intervention, recognizing that exceptional wine begins in the vineyard and is enhanced by the surrounding landscape.
The estate has earned a 4-star rating for its guest accommodations, strategically positioned between Stellenbosch and Paarl on the slopes of the Simonsberg mountain. The property offers diverse accommodation options, including four spacious loft units nestled among citrus orchards and vineyards. The main manor house provides sweeping views that extend to Table Mountain, while the Pool House is beautifully situated among lavender and lime plantations. Their newest addition, L'Ermitage, is a recently renovated guest house featuring six modern Africa-themed rooms, positioned among the vineyard rows.
Since 2014, the estate has operated the Marianne Wine Club, which was established to cultivate relationships with loyal customers and create a community of brand ambassadors. The club has shown significant growth, hosting regular events both on the estate and at affiliated venues throughout South Africa. This initiative reflects the estate's commitment to Robert Mondavi's philosophy that wine represents passion, family, friendship, and cultural heritage.
