Expert Review
Origins
Vergenoegd Low is one of the oldest working wine farms in South Africa, with a wine-making legacy over 330 years old. While the farm has Cape Dutch heritage, it now reflects the rich and authentic cultural history of the Western Cape through it’s food, wine, art and architecture.
Top Secret
The farm is home to some incredible art, merging history with contemporary. The tasting room and restuarant feature original works depicting the farm by Dutch artist Jan Brandes. The grounds are home to sculptures by leading local artist Dylan Lewis.
The Review
The cottages are spacious and feel private. The complimentary drinks in the room make lounging by the pool even easier and are refreshed daily. The pool is heated to make taking a dip a pleasant and relaxing experience, but be warned - it's deep! The gardens around the wine farm are still in their infancy, and will no doubt be a pleasure to walk through when they grow fully. Seeing the vines around the working wine farm in their different stages is also fascinating. The history of the location is also fascinating and detailed in a coffee table book in the room.
The site was one of the oldest wine farms in the area and has gone through many changes. The historical buildings where wine tastings are held and breakfast is served are beautifully restored, while newer structures like the cottages and impressive owner's residence (also available to guests on request) add a modern sensibility.
Breakfast at Geuwels restaurant, and dinner at Clara's Barn, both owned and designed by celebrity chef Bertus Basson, are a highlight of the stay. Geuwels offers a menu featuring traditional South African favourites made with fresh, locally sourced ingredients. Clara's Barn is a fine dining experience that exemplifies the best of South African flavours and ingredients through a creative 5 course set menu, presented impeccably. The restaurant setting makes guests feel comfortable and at ease, as they settle in to enjoy the indulgence.
