es back to 1791, when German immigrant Philippus Wolvaart acquired 49 hectares of land in the Paarl Valley. He named his property Nederburgh, in honour of the VOC commissioner, Sebastian Cornelis Nederburgh. Later, the ‘h’ was dropped from the spelling of the farm’s name and it became Nederburg as it is known today. At the heart of Nederburg’s winemaking journey lies the people who played a part in our rich and colourful history – from generations of award-winning and innovative winemakers - to Ilse Grau, who lived in the Manor House until the late 1950 and graciously hosted many of Nederburg’s visitors. Legend has it that on balmy summer nights you can still hear the sounds of laughter, clinking glasses and the notes from her Beckstein piano floating out over the rose garden she planted decades ago.

The experience was really great. Samual was an awesome guide. The “safari” was special because the animals are mostly rescue animals being expertly cared for. Our driver Josh was entertaining and provided a lot of fun information.
