Wine tasting

At the base of The Klein Dassenberg mountains one can find the quaint Mont Rochelle Boutique Wine Cellar which dates back 155 years, the first vines were planted in 1995.

Mont Rochelle Mountain Vineyards is a farm where 17 of the 34 ha is under Sauvignon blanc, Chardonnay, Merlot, Shiraz and Cabernet Sauvignon. The farm also has small amounts of Petit Verdot, Viognier and Semillon.The vineyards are situated from 255m to 410m above sea level, which allows for a wide range of micro-climates.

Mediterranean-like conditions found in the Western Cape of South Africa means dry summers and high winter rainfalls of 1010mm. The Franschhoek valley also experiences the South Easter wind which also helps bring in the cooler air allowing for a longer ripening period, lending a hand to more physiologically ripe fruit.

Guests are welcome the cellar any day of the week. The friendly staff is happy to introduce visitors to the wines and will answer all questions about the wine making process.

Mont Rochelle Cellar tours:

Wine cellar tours at Mont Rochelle are conducted at certain times during the week.  For a private tour by the winemaker, please contact the hotel directly.

Wine & gourmet tastings:

Enjoy wines from the farm paired by the chef to the daily dishes, each pairing to the guests.
