In 1696 Pieter de Vos could feast his eyes on what you see today – Table Mountain, the Helderberg Mountain, the Eerste River, The Atlantic Ocean, vineyards and waving fields.
History, heritage and harmony converge here – wine making over three centuries, vrijburgers layering and expanding the homestead, barn, slave lodge, threshing floor and cellars into one of the oldest and most intact of the early wine farms of the Cape of Good Hope. This is a living, evolving national monument, part of the European Heritage Project and a WWF conservation site.

Every wine in the range expresses respect for heritage and traditional ways of farming for vineyard health and sustainability. But we infuse these historic ways with fresh, dynamic and progressive thinking. This approach to viticulture, where we rely increasingly on nature, gives the grapes a chance to take centre-stage in the cellar. Our way of viticulture is to let the grapes guide us. Not the other way round.
Since 2021, Vergenoegd Löw has seen the unveiling of two stunning new eateries in Geuwels and Clara’s Barn. We are thrilled to announce the appointment of talented local chef and wine pairing expert, Michelle Theron, as our first head of gastronomy. In this newly created position she becomes our full-time in-house chef, responsible for all dining and beverage matching experiences on the estate. She succeeds external culinary consultant Bertus Basson, the luminary who has left us an inspiring legacy from which we can build our self-sufficiency.
The restaurant, with an excellent cellar, is named after Prof Dr Dr Löw’s wife, Clara. It is housed in what in all probability is the oldest building on the farm and is thought to pre-date the 1717 Homestead. But for more than a century, the previous owners used it has a barn. For authenticity and to reflect this part of its history, the cobble-stoned floors and animal feeding troughs have been retained. The restaurant, that reinterprets traditional dishes from South African farm kitchens, offers a daily five-course, fine-dining set menu. The gastronomic experience features produce from the farm or supplied by small-scale farmers. While Vergenoegd Löw, other wines and even non-alcoholic cocktails can be paired with each course as recommended by the sommelier, diners are free to make their own beverage choices from the carefully composed beverage menu that features South Africa’s best of best.

Geuwels (Gables) is a casual eatery serving farm-style breakfasts and lunches daily. Lunches showcase local ingredients in small-plate dishes to share. These are familiar, well-loved tastes amongst most South Africans, but they have been reimagined in fresh and original new ways. The joyful, exuberant duck room pays tribute to our well-trained Indian Runner ducks that keep the vineyard pests away and fertilise the soil naturally. They play a key role in our eco-sustainability.
