Situated against the klein dassenberg mountains, you will find the quaint boutique cellar, with its unique character and layout due to its historic origin. Previously a fruit packing shed, the cellar dates back 150 years.
The vineyards were first planted in 1994. In 2001 Miko Rwayitare bought the farm and became the first black african to own a wine farm in South Africa.
The philosophy is simple, “keep it traditional”. Keeping it traditional allows all the wines to develop as mother nature intended, only when absolutely necessary does the winemaker step in and intervene.
Visit their tasting centre any day of the week. Their friendly staff is happy to introduce you to their wines and will answer all your questions about the wine making process.
Cellar tours depart at 11h00, 12h30 and 15h00 during the week. For a private tour by the winemaker please contact them to make a reservation. Wine tasting is available daily from 09h30 to 18h00.
Luxury accommodation is also available at Mont Rochelle. Sixteen bedrooms and six plush suites span across three wings of the hotel giving you the feeling of being in a private manor house.
