Exchange vows in the vineyards with the Hawequa, Groenberg, and Slanghoek mountains forming a 270-degree amphitheatre. The scale of the landscape makes every photo cinematic.
All three venues offer custom-labelled estate wine as wedding favours. Diemersfontein will print your names on their Pinotage for R65/bottle (minimum 50 bottles). Guests take home actual award-winning wine.
