More info about Meerlust Wine Estate
One of the oldest and most established wine farms in Stellenbosch is the Meerlust Wine Estate.

The idea quickly gained popularity and today wine tasting makes up most of Stellenbosch’s revenue.
The Meerlust farm was first allocated to a German settler in 1693 and used as a cattle breeding farm.

The interior (not open to the public) is richly imbued with magnificent wooden ceiling beams... Show more
