Rivendell Estate is genuinely one of the loveliest settings for the perfect boutique function. This venue is well suited to both intimate weddings and corporate functions,
situated on the Cape Whale Coast, just outside the world-renowned whale watching haven, Hermanus.
This appealing property is situated on the south-facing slope of Mount Hebron that forms part of the Kogelberg biosphere and nestled at the edge of the Bot River lagoon, where wild horses roam free and where the Fish Eagle soars as king of the sky. Its distinctive cry is, for many, evocative of the spirit or essence of Africa. Rivendell, like its wine, epitomizes harmony and tranquillity, energized by a vibrant spirit of adventure while still retaining a classic elegance.
Rivendell offers award winning wines. The two noble varietals Sauvignon Blanc and Shiraz are a result of Rivendell’s commitment to quality. Harmony with nature is our priority, thus a hands-on approach is adopted in every phase of the growing and winemaking process. Since the maiden vintages 2011 of the Sauvignon Blanc and the Shiraz the range of superb Rivendell wines has grown steadily. A dry Shiraz Rosé completes the offer of fine wines, perfect for Al Fresco dining at the farm restaurant RivenDeli located 300m of the function venue.
