Situated only two hours from Cape Town, our private cellar offers exclusive wine tasting and sales in the Robertson Valley. Surrrounded by mountains and vineyards you can sit back, relax andexperience farm hospitality at its best.

A special wine, harvested from our best Shiraz grapes on the farm. Matured in a combination of fine French and American Oak barrels, which gives this dark elegant wine a subtle taste with aromas of pepper, berries, mocha and leather pleasantly lingering on the palate.

This will develop and mature further with time.

Sumsaré Family Wines

All visitors need to purchase a passport (R70) at their first port of call. This includes a stylish tasting glass, WWW goodie bag, festival program and a bottle of water to pace yourself with.

How does the passport work? The passport entitles you to free tastings (25ml-samples) of our wines for the duration of the festival. However, it is not a ticket to unlimited drinking and should you like more of a particular wine, you’re welcome to either buy a glass, or share a bottle amongst friends. Other activities offered work on a pay-as-you-go basis with some activities free of charge.

BOOKINGS: Many of the activities need to be booked in advance (directly with the wineries) and we strongly advise you to do so sooner rather than later as they tend to be booked out rather quickly. Please make use of the online program for this.

For some it’s simply the peace that comes with nature, with nothing but birdsong to distract. For others, the views: empty valleys studded gem-like with flowering succulents and grazing antelope, against a backdrop of undulating mountains. Vast blue skies that turn star-spangled when the sun dips behind these craggy peaks. But mostly it’s the luxury of privacy, with only a handful privileged enough to find themselves ensconced in accommodation that is spacious, gracious and welcoming, in a privately owned reserve less than two hours from Cape Town.
