In 1982, the Dreyer Family purchased Remhoogte farm, located southeast of Hermanus in the Akkedisberg area. At the time, Piet Dreyer was engaged in commercial fishing. Initially, the family ran livestock and later planted citrus trees, with Piet's wife and children tending the farm during his absences. In 1999, the Dreyers planted 10 hectares of Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot, and Shiraz.

The farm's proximity to the sea provides cooling breezes from Walker Bay in the afternoon, while the South Easter wind from Agulhas on the Indian Ocean reduces summer heat. The Klein River Mountain is the southernmost mountain range in Africa offers diverse aspects and soil types.

Raka is very much a family business. Piet and Elna Dreyer have three sons and a daughter. Their eldest son, Gerhard, took up squid fishing after school and now handles many of his father's responsibilities, allowing Piet to focus on producing quality wine. Josef, the second son, earned a B.Agric degree from Elsenburg in 2006 and is now Raka's winemaker, also managing accounting. The youngest son, Pieter, serves as the viticulturist and farm manager. Their daughter, Jorika, handles marketing and sales. During harvest, the entire family helps, with every hand playing a crucial role.
