Long Description
WELCOME TO MEERENDAL WINE ESTATE
For this 300-year old wine estate, history was made in 1714 when Christina Stans, widow of the first owner, planted 60,000 vines on the rolling hills of Meerendal. Following in her footsteps, Liza Goodwin, cellarmaster and winemaker since 1998, kept this tradition alive. Meerendal Wine Estate has developed into one of South Africa’s top wine estates. The estate features two restaurants, a wine tasting room, mountain biking, and running trails, a wine academy and much more. Meerendal is also dedicated to giving back to the community through the involvement in charities such as Songo, Food Cycle and the Bigfeet Elephant Foundation.
