Wine of Origin ward

Hemel-en-Aarde Valley wine farms

Twelve farms on the Hermanus end of the Hemel-en-Aarde road, 88 to 95 km from Cape Town. Sunday works if you pick the right cellar.

This is the Hemel-en-Aarde ward closest to Hermanus. The twelve farms sit 88 to 95 km from Cape Town, on the road that climbs out of town. The upper valley is a separate ward further along that road, and it has only two farms. If the pin says Valley, you are still near Hermanus.

Sunday splits the ward. Whalehaven is open 08:30 to 17:00. La Vierge and Spookfontein also publish Sunday as open, and both have a restaurant. Spookfontein is open on public holidays too. La Vierge and Spookfontein have a place to stay. Ashbourne, Ataraxia and Hasher Family Wines publish closed Sundays. Storm asks you to book ahead.

Newton Johnson has a restaurant and no hours on the listing, so check the day before you promise lunch. Crystallum, Domaine des Dieux and Sumaridge have a phone and no published hours. Whale Coast Wine Cellar is a pin with no visit details yet.
