Natte Valleij

Nestled in the picturesque landscape of South Africa's Stellenbosch region lies the charming and historic farm of Natte Valleij Wines. Surrounded by the majestic Simonsberg mountain, this winery exudes a rich sense of history and tradition that is truly evocative. Originally purchased by the Milner Family in 1969, Natte Valleij was a rundown winery that had not produced wine since the 1950s. However, this did not deter the family, as their vision for the farm extended beyond just wine-making. With its stunning homestead, old wine cellars, brandy stills, mature gardens, ancient trees, pergolas, and ponds, Natte Valleij was the perfect setting for the family's other passion - breeding exceptional racehorses. And so, for the next 30 years, the farm became renowned for producing some of South Africa's finest equine champions. Today, Natte Valleij is owned and operated by the Milner family's third generation, who have continued the legacy of producing exceptional wines. With a focus on sustainable and organic farming practices, the vineyards produce grapes of exceptional quality, resulting in award-winning wines that are a true reflection of the terroir. Visitors to Natte Valleij can immerse themselves in the farm's rich history and beauty, from strolling through the vineyards to tasting the exquisite wines in the old wine cellars. And as the lime-washed walls stand as a testament to the enduring legacy of this family-owned farm, one can't help but feel a sense of reverence for the past and excitement for the future of Natte Valleij Wines.
