Wines that reflect our terroir

Set on a landscape sculpted by nature over 600 million years, Waterford Estate benefits from this ancient terroir. Our journey is dedicated to capturing the unique character of the Helderberg Mountain in every bottle, producing wines that reflect the rich soils, diverse cultures, and vibrant ecosystems of South Africa.

"Had a wonderful experience at Waterford Estate. The wines were incredible, and the food was amazing. Our server, Megan, was a breath of fresh air, with such knowledge of the wines. Will will definitely be back."

"What an outstanding experience! Waterford is clearly producing some exceptional wines - there's no doubt about that! Seeing the process and the inner workings of true artistry in winemaking was fascinating, especially for someone like me who knows very little about it. However, the highlight was the vineyard tour in the Land Rover! Our guide was beyond superb: knowledgeable, and professional, and he struck the perfect balance between giving us space and inviting us back to try the endless Waterford creations. The wine safari is something we’ll be recommending to anyone who will listen for a very long time!"

“The Jem is gloriously unique, built on a base of Cabernet Sauvignon with 52% Syrah, Mourvèdre, Petit Verdot, Merlot, Cabernet Franc, Sangiovese and Barbera towering above it. Part Bordeaux, part Rhône Valley part northern Italy, it's also uniquely South African, with stylish, perfumed, elegant aromas and flavours of red and black fruits, nuanced oak and a long, tapering finish.”

"The Wine Drive Safari with Zach was outstanding! He made the experience truly memorable. The wines were delicious and paired beautifully with the food. The chocolate finish with The Jem was a wonderful surprise. We highly recommend this experience and the Waterford Estate wines!"

"The estate is absolutely stunning, featuring picturesque architecture both inside and out, and the lovely inner courtyard provides a perfect setting to appreciate the surroundings. The staff was friendly without being overly intrusive. While the pricing is a step up compared to nearby estates, it is still very fair, and the experience offers excellent value for the money spent."

"We had an absolutely incredible wine safari experience! Our tour guide, Jeremy, was amazing; he knew everything and provided so much depth about the estate! Our time in the barrel room, enjoying wine tastings alongside a divine charcuterie board, was truly memorable. We cannot wait to return on our next visit to South Africa!"

"Perfect as always - and even the sun was out on a marvellous winter day - just the trees were lacking the leaves - lol - no wonder, it is August (winter)... so all was perfect like the last 20 times."
