With a 300-year history and 450 hectares of beautiful Cape Winelands scenery, Zevenwacht offers far more than just a place to sleep. Whether you are here for a day or a few nights, there is plenty to fill your time without ever leaving the estate.
Picnics on the Estate
Picnic baskets are served on tree-shaded lawns sloping down to the lake including a tasteful spread of breads, biscuits, cold meats, cheeses, and salads. You could also pre-book a braai basket and cook your own meal over vine wood fires. Let this be an opportunity to enjoy Zevenwachts exceptional selection of wines.
Wine Tasting & Cellar Tours
A visit to Zevenwacht would not be complete without spending time in the tasting room. The tasting centre offers a leisurely atmosphere to sample wines from the estate's various ranges, or indulge with chocolate truffle, cheese, or biltong and wine pairing for a more indulgent experience.
Cellar tours can be arranged by appointment, giving you an up-close look at the artistry and technical skill behind the winemaking process.
Vineyard Walks & Mountain Biking
The vineyards at Zevenwacht are beautiful at every time of year. Take a leisurely stroll through the vines and soak up the sweeping panoramas of Table Bay and False Bay that unfurl before you.
For something more active, mountain biking trails wind through the estate and surrounding Bottelary Hills, offering a great way to explore the landscape at your own pace.
Dining at the Manor House
The Zevenwacht Restaurant is housed within a Cape Dutch manor house dating to the turn of the 19th century and serves contemporary continental cuisine for breakfast, lunch, and dinner, seven days a week. The terrace overlooking the lake is particularly lovely for a long lunch.
Golf
The Kuils River Golf Course is just a short drive from the estate and open to residents, making it an easy addition to a stay for those who enjoy a round in scenic surrounds.
