Riebeek Valley

Back in the mid-sixteen hundreds, after an extremely long and tiring trek from the Cape of Good Hope, Pieter Cruythoff and his party stood atop the Bothmanskloof pass and surveyed for the first time, a valley of rich wonderment and beauty. Many followed in the years to come; to settle, to farm, to live and laugh - to soak in the glorious views and introduce added quality into their lives. One such early farming family was the Brinks, now owners of the latest addition to the Riebeek Valley's acclaimed wineries, Pulpit Rock. 
 

Het Vlock Casteel, "'n Familie diep gewortel in vrugbare aarde." Beautiful venue. Views of vineyards and orchards from our terrace. Taste sensation of over 100 products produced on premises. Exquisite olives, Olive oil tastings and Wine tastings. Group bookings welcome.

This medium-sized winery on the western coast of the Cape Province of South Africa sources its grapes from the fertile Riebeek Valley and the slopes of the mountain where the climate is very similar to the Mediterranean.

Kloovenburg was planted with grapes as early as the mid-18th century, but it had to wait for the two generations of Du Toits to transform these into significant wines.
