Groot Constantia Estate






Groot Constantia produces a range of wines, excelling in reds as well as whites. The Estate has won numerous awards for its wines, and has done so consistently.

Today visitors to Groot Constantia are also welcomed by the tranquility and beauty which charmed Simon van der Stel so much.
The Manor House, with its elegant gables, today houses a cultural history museum which portrays the early years of Groot Constantia.

The Cloete Cellar, dating back to 1791, the original wine cellar, houses a display of drinking vessels and wine making equipment. Its beautiful pediment gable, by sculptor Anton Anreith, recently restored, is not to be missed.

Wine may be tasted and bought at the tasting cellar at the entrance of the Estate which also houses a souvenir and gift shop. Cellar tours are conducted between 10:00 and 16:00 daily.

Wine Sales and Tasting:
Mondays - Sundays: 09:00 - 18:00
