The Farm
Fynbos Estate covers 320 hectares, which is about the size of inner Cape Town. Of these 20 hectares are wine-grape vineyards and olive groves, 30 hectares are open farmland, and 270 hectares are granite mountain.
Being a working farm, visitors will always be able to see, and sometimes to participate, in one or another farming activity. There is the pruning of olive trees, harvesting of grapes, feeding of animals, clearing the mountain of aliens, and making of wine. Meeting the farmyard animals is a great treat for old and young, as is exploring the natural abundance of indigenous plant and animal life.
Farm Activities
- Wander about the vineyards, walk or climb the mountain, or drive up Dragonridge in a high-clearance vehicle.
- Mountain bike in the general area, or (for the fit and experienced), up the mountain.
- Botanical Walking Tours for groups are available by prior arrangement.
- Browse in the farm shop where we sell Dragonridge Olive oil, various preserved produce, and Dragonridge wines.
Farmyard Animals
The Fynbos Farmyard has grown steadily over the years. Most precious are our five rescue donkeys and a horse called Stars, three Cameroon goats, two tame sheep, two Chinese geese, ducks and chickens. These characters provide much entertainment and are enjoyed by young and old.
Fynbos Products
Besides our grapes, we have 900 olive trees, a lemon orchard, and numerous hives from which we get raw organic honey. Besides our wine, we sell a peppery European-style olive oil, bottled olives, red-wine vinegar, organic honey, and small quantities of Limoncello.
