Karusa, a family-owned estate, is located in the tranquil village of Schoemanshoek, at the foothills of the Swartberg mountains in the Cango Valley near Oudtshoorn. The estate, en route to the famous Cango Caves, is a picturesque stop in the Little Karoo. Managed by a dedicated family team, with Jacques Conradie overseeing wine production, Saretha Conradie managing public relations and the restaurant, and Theo Landman as the estate manager, Karusa offers visitors a unique blend of history, exceptional wines, a relaxed atmosphere, and a deep connection to the natural beauty of the Klein Karoo. Soil types are mainly alluvial (by the river) and culluvial (in the mountain).

Karusa is also a fruit farm. The orchards at Karusa thrive on some of South Africa's oldest soils, benefiting from a unique microclimate that imparts a distinct sense of place to the fruit. Consistent low winter temperatures ensure even budbreak, while minimal frost protects the crops. With quality irrigation, ample sunshine, and careful pruning, the trees grow under optimal conditions, producing healthy, high-quality fruit.

The arid climate allows for minimal chemical use, aligning with Karusa's sustainable farming philosophy that respects local fauna and flora. The estate is adopting holistic, organic, and biological practices to produce healthy fruit while preserving natural resources and the environment.
