Somerset West

Vergelegen Wine Estate

Visit Vergelegen Wine Estate during the warmer months for a serene day trip bursting with history and beauty. This estate caters to both families and solo explorers with its vast gardens, historic tours, wine tastings, and picnic options. Kids will revel in the play areas, while adults can unwind in the tea room or dine at one of the restaurants. What's truly striking here is the harmony of nature and history, with 300-year-old camphor trees adding to the charm. Be aware: there's a R30 entrance fee for adults and R10 for pensioners.

Bring cash for the R30 entrance fee.

Wine tastings are only on Fridays.

The estate is vast and best enjoyed in good weather, so make the most of sunny days. Stormy weather might dampen the experience, but indoor attractions like the Manor House could offer solace.
