Description

Vrede en Lust Wine Estate, established in 1688, is a heritage-rich winery nestled at the intersection of the Simonsberg and Elgin wine regions in South Africa. With over 90 hectares of vineyards and a philosophy of “own your terroir,” the estate produces exceptional wines by planting the same cultivar across diverse soil types and harvesting at optimal times to build complexity. Led by winemaker Karlin and viticulturist Annette, Vrede en Lust crafts premium, artisan, and flagship wines using hand-picked grapes and French oak barrels. Guests can enjoy curated tastings, dine at Lust Bistro & Bakery or Savoye Restaurant, stay in Cape Dutch-style luxury accommodation, and celebrate unforgettable weddings and events — all in a setting where nature, craftsmanship, and hospitality converge.
