It's Feeling Festive at Vergelegen!

We are celebrating Christmas at Vergelegen, from beautiful Christmas trees in our library and homestead to festive gifting, delicious treats and more.

Our new creamery is open and serving up delicious scoops of homemade goodness (including festive flavours), we are sipping on Cap Classique in our tasting room and enjoying fresh dishes from our restaurants.

There has never been a better time to visit Vergelegen

Our Summer Gardens are Blooming

Our summer gardens are in full splendour! Guests are welcomed by a breathtaking display of blue, purple, and white hydrangeas, complemented by graceful roses and an array of vibrant blooms in the Octagonal Garden. When visiting the farm, take a moment to wander through our themed gardens and immerse yourself in the captivating sights and delicate fragrances that make this season so enchanting.

Visit the Potting Shed Gift Shop for a selection of bespoke Vergelegen-inspired scented hand washes, lotions, creams and candles as well as a selection of plants and gardening accessories. Find our gift shop in the rose garden precinct next to Rose Terrace Tea Room.

New Release: Vergelegen MMV 2024 Cap Classique

Our new vintage of MMV Blanc de Blancs Cap Classique 2024 has been released just in time for Christmas and is available in our tasting room and online shop.

This wine is made from 100% Chardonnay from our estate and has hints of brioche, citrus, spice and baked apples. We believe it pairs perfectly with roasted turkey or gammon and all the delicious festive dishes one can expect during the Christmas celebrations. Stock is limited so don't delay!

Did you know? We ship to all corners of South Africa, and shipping is free for all purchases of 12 bottles or more. Visit our online shop now.
