Of French Huguenot origin, L'Ormarins was established in 1694, when 4 000 vines were planted on the slopes of the Groot Drakenstein mountains fringing the Franschhoek Valley.
In 1969 the property was acquired by the Rupert family, who launched a major preservation and development programme. |
| Vines are grown mainly in terraced vineyards on a variety of slopes and at varying altitudes, creating conditions that favour a distinct diversity in grape properties and lend a unique character to L'Ormarins wines.
Only noble cultivars are produced - Chardonnay, Sauvignon Blanc, Merlot, Cabernet Sauvignon - complemented by a classical Claret blend branded as Optima. |

L'Ormarins invites wine lovers to experience a rewarding blend of natural beauty and the finest wines. Relax in our tasting room, while sampling our noble products, acclaimed the world over.
During the summer high season, we offer visitors an opportunity to linger-longer in the peaceful country atmosphere by indulging in our Mediterranean-style delicatessen situated adjacent to the tasting centre, next to the poolside, where you can purchase a variety of breads, cheeses, patês and much more while savouring our award-winning wines. |
| As much as our wines will please you, you will be overwhelmed by magnificent mountain scenes and the charm of historic buildings restored to their original Huguenot splendour of 1694.
We are open weekdays: 09:00 - 16:30; Saturdays: 10:00 - 15:00. Closed on Sundays and Christian religious holidays.
