On the slopes of Bottelary Hills bordering Stellenbosch is a family estate where nature provides the perfect backdrop to grow, produce, and share award-winning wines. Summer at Hartenberg brings picnics on the lawns followed by buoyant games of boule. Winter invites you to intimate fireside lunches and sumptuous reds, smoky charcuterie and olives, and sensorial cellar tours. The Wetland Conservation Area, alongside the vineyards, makes for a beautiful setting for walks and shared family fun. The estate is home to plentiful wildlife and over 120 species of birds.
