🍷 Beyerskloof at Wildskosfees 2025! 🍷

Within a mere 30 years – one generation – Beyerskloof has become synonymous with South Africa’s heritage varietal, Pinotage.

It all started with a vineyard, planted at a small home farm off the Koelenhof road in Stellenbosch, bought in 1988. It was at this historic moment, when Beyers Truter dug his hands into the soil to plant the first vines, that an iconic story was set in motion.

A few years later in 1995, the first Beyerskloof Pinotage was produced and bottled, and one year later, it went on to win the first of many Absa Top 10 Pinotage awards.

From here, Beyerskloof continued to grow, and in 1997, another 100 hectares were bought in the Bottelary Winelands of Stellenbosch.

Get ready to savour the bold flavours of Beyerskloof at Wildskosfees this year, where exceptional Pinotage meets the culinary delights! 🍇✨
