Le Bonheur dates back to the 1790’s. This 163-hectare estate with the optimistic name of Le Bonheur ("Happiness") is situated along the slopes of the Klapmuts Hill in the northern reaches of the Simonsberg Mountain, in the Stellenbosch Wine of Origin district. Klapmuts is the old Dutch word for the 18th century cocked hat that folded away into the saddle back pocket and, indeed, when observed from a distance, the hill resembles such a hat.
The present owners, the Milner family, bought Natte Valleijin 1969 and the old vines were pulled out and replaced with grass paddocks and for the next 27 years the farm served as a thoroughbred stud producing many classic winners. The horses have now all been retired and replaced by classic wines, friendly and efficient hospitality in our self-catering and en-suite guestroom accommodation and hosting romantic country weddings. We welcome the opportunity to share with you the ambience of a bygone era.
Tastings by appointment only
We are a very small boutique wine farm between Klapmuts and Stellenbosch on the R44. The farm really is a hidden gem and everyone that visits, love it!
