Highgate Wine Estate, found in the picturesque KwaZulu-Natal Midlands, is surrounded by lush landscapes and rolling hills. Originally a small hydroponic vegetable farm purchased by the Kassier family in 1996, the estate has gradually evolved to cater to the growing demand for fresh produce and wine. The foundation of the estate began with five hectares of land, where grapevines now flourish, providing the primary ingredients for their wines. Situated along the scenic R103 Dargle route in Lions River, the estate enjoys a mild climate ideal for grape growing. The Kassier family committed to sustainable winemaking practices, ensuring the vineyards are nurtured in harmony with nature. In 2016, the estate celebrated a significant milestone with the production of its first commercially bottled wine, marking a pivotal point in its transformation from a vegetable farm to a renowned wine estate. Visitors are invited to explore the beauty of Highgate Wine Estate, experiencing both its natural surroundings and its contribution to the region's wine culture.
