Guided Hikes

We invite you to join us for a guided hike within the farming areas of our majestic Lourensford Estate. We would love to show you the landscape and views that not many people are privileged to see!

The hike will take you past vineyards, fruit orchards and dams and on reaching the rest stop will reward you with breath taking views of the farm, False Bay and the Hottentot Holland and Helderberg Mountain Ranges.

Your guide will share with you some of the history of the farm, as well as some insights into the farms workings and conservation activities, and why we deserve to be Biodiversity and Wine Initiative Champions.

The hike will start from the tasting room; an opportunity for you to book a tasting for after the walk or perhaps reward yourself with a cold bottle of wine to enjoy while reflecting on your new knowledge of the landscape in which it was made!
