For Capetonians seeking an elegant escape this Easter, Vergenoegd Löw Wine Estate offers a picturesque blend of indulgence, relaxation, and nature just 30 minutes from the city. Nestled at the gateway to Stellenbosch, the estate invites guests to experience a weekend curated for every type of traveller — from romantic couples to adventure-seeking families.
The boutique hotel’s Easter retreat options are refreshingly diverse. Couples can enjoy a multi-sensory romantic escape, featuring spa treatments, candlelit dinners at Clara’s Barn (a celebrated Eat Out Award-winning restaurant), and indulgent Cap Classique pairings. Families are well catered for too, with luxury cottage accommodation, child-friendly adventures, and even a chauffeured game drive at Vredenheim Roofdierpark.
Each package blends relaxation with discovery — from yoga and spa sessions to vineyard hikes and wine tastings. The offerings reflect the estate’s “Back to Nature” ethos, where regenerative farming practices, such as the use of Indian Runner ducks for pest control, are integrated into the guest experience.
Pros include the sheer variety of luxury experiences and the estate’s emphasis on sustainability, wellness, and farm-to-table dining. On the downside, this calibre of getaway may come at a premium, and some packages cater best to groups or couples, leaving solo travellers with fewer tailored options.
Still, for those seeking a holistic Easter break that fuses South African heritage, wine culture, and restorative luxury, Vergenoegd Löw is an ideal destination.
