De Wetshof Wine Estate, Robertson, Western Cape
De Wetshof Wine Estate is situated about 160Km from Cape Town in one of the prime wine growing regions in South Africa – Robertson valley. The De Wet family arrived in the Cape in 1693 and have been involved and at the forefront of the wine industry ever since. Danie De Wet has had an illustrious career and was appointed chairman of KWV in 2004.
The wines have won awards too numerous to mention as well as the State President’s Award for Export Achievement. The winery has spearheaded advanced technology and behind the classical façade of the cellar building is one of the most advanced winemaking facilities in the world. De Wetshof is best known for its exquisite Chardonnays.
An awareness of the natural environment and the importance of preserving these wonders are instilled in the De Wetshof community from an early age. At the De Wetshof Crèche, where pre-school and primary school children of the farm’s staff are cared for while their parents are at work, the Nature in Concert Conservation Cubs ensures these youngsters learn to appreciate their natural surroundings from an early age.
