Boutique Wine Farm

As one of the most prestigious boutique wine farms in South Africa, Rivendell is synonymous with superb food and select wines and forms part of the Bot River Wine Route.  It provides the ambience for high quality, exclusivity and personal attention to local South Africans as well as tourists from Europe and the rest of the world.

Rivendell believes that the understanding and appreciation of good food and wine provide an extra dimension to the otherwise daily routine of eating and drinking, transforming such obligation into a pleasure, an everyday necessity into a celebration of life.  Our passion lies in producing quality not quantity, i.e. quality food, wine, and experiences. 

Visitors will be tempted by delicious cuisine from our restaurant, headed up by Chef Thomas Sinn, and lured into a leisurely tasting of Rivendell's premium wines. It is also the ideal location for the whole family to relax and spend some quality time together.
