Location and History

Nestled in the stunning Breedekloof valley, beneath the towering Du Toitskloof mountains, the estate is surrounded by rows of vineyards and exudes a sense of timeless beauty.

This family farm, steeped in history, features charming buildings shaded by ancient oak trees, where chickens roam freely beneath the branches. Locals in Rawsonville will tell you the Du Preez family has been pioneers in winemaking for generations.

Celebrating its centenary in 2016, Du Preez Estate continues to innovate, planting new vineyards and expanding facilities to ensure a thriving future. Three generations - Hennie du Preez Snr, Jean du Preez, and Janette Basson - lead the estate with a commitment to preserving the legacy for the next generation.
