COOL CLIMATE WINES

5 Stars for Elgin Wines

We are proud to announce that Oak Valley, Paul Cluver, Shannon and Sutherland were awarded 5* status at yesterday's launch for the Platter's 2019 South African Wine Guide.

Cool climate – cool wines

350 metres above sea level and a stone’s throw distance from it. That makes Elgin South Africa’s coolest climate wine region where the grapes takes longer to ripen on the vines.

Wine tastings

Make a day – or a weekend – of it and visit the beautiful Elgin Valley (a mere 70km east of Cape Town) to taste excellent wines. Refer to each wine farm's info for wine tasting times.

Welcome to Wines of Elgin

Wines of Elgin

Situated a mere 70 kilometres east of Cape Town and a short 45 min drive, this valley captures the essence of exquisite cool climate wines in each and every bottle of wine. The beautiful Elgin Valley, just off the N2, rewards wine lovers taking a meandering trip off the beaten track to experience true Elgin Magic.
