About us

Three Centuries of Living History

Set on the coastal edge of the Stellenbosch wine region, where False Bay air moves across the vineyards,       Vergenoegd Löw exists at a meeting point between land and sea.

Vineyards, wetlands, and open farmland shape the landscape. Guided by regenerative farming practices, the estate supports biodiversity, soil health, and a balanced ecosystem that continues to evolve with the seasons.

There is space here to explore, pause, and experience the rhythms of a working farm that remains closely connected to its natural surroundings.

A legacy
since 1696

Ancient Soils, Timeless Roots

Since 1696, Vergenoegd Löw has remained in continuous use as a working farm. Its story is inseparable from the land itself.

Situated on an ancient marine bed less than 5km from the Atlantic Ocean, the estate’s lime-rich soils and cooling sea breezes continue to shape the character of its vineyards and wines. The name Vergenoegd, Dutch for “to be content”, reflects a place where agriculture, hospitality, and heritage have remained connected for more than three centuries.

History Restored

Today, the estate forms part of the European Heritage Project under the stewardship of Professor Dr Dr Peter Löw. The restoration of the 1773 Homestead, historic werf, and surrounding buildings has been undertaken with care, preserving the architectural character of the estate while ensuring it remains a living, working property.

As a WWF Conservation Champion, Vergenoegd Löw combines heritage conservation with regenerative farming, wine growing, hospitality, and biodiversity initiatives. Rather than preserving the estate as a moment in time, the aim is to ensure it continues to evolve while remaining rooted in the landscape that has shaped it for generations.
