Verde en Lust Wine Estate lies within a natural amphitheater against the slopes of the dramatic Simonsberg Mountain between Paarl and Franschhoek. This 70-hectare wine estate is family owned and managed by the Buys family since 1996. In 2005, they purchased a further 90-hectare farm called Casey’s Ridge in Elgin. This allows grapes to be harvested from both a mild and cool climate with various soils, and bring those grapes back to the Vrede en Lust Estate to make the magic happen. There are two tasting options if sitting outside as well as a Dalewood cheese pairing and Lindt Chocolate pairing inside. Vrede en Lust is on the Franschhoek Tram Line so this bustling stop could be a part of your route while you enjoy the easy hop-on-hop-off experience. There are 10 en-suite rooms and other beautifully appointed cottages with breath-taking views over the vineyards. Vrede en Lust is an ideal Cape Winelands wedding venue with professional wedding coordinators just waiting to help plan your perfect day. The LUST Bistro and Bakery offers breakfast, lunch, pizzas, artisanal breads, daily blackboard specials and just honest abundant food. Otherwise opt for Savoy Restaurant which is set in the Manor House Garden guarded by ancient Oak trees. They cater for lunches and special dinners with beautifully crafted dishes from the finest local ingredients.
