       About Opstal

Sustainably farmed

Nestled in the breathtaking Slanghoek Valley of South Africa’s Western Cape, Opstal Winery is a family-owned estate with deep roots and a proud farming heritage dating back to 1847. Over generations, Opstal has grown from a small mixed farm into a celebrated producer of premium wines, known for authenticity, craftsmanship, and a deep respect for the land.

At Opstal, tradition and innovation exist side by side. The estate's vineyards stretch across diverse soils and microclimates, allowing for expressive, character-driven wines that speak of their origin. From the bold reds and vibrant whites to the elegant Cap Classiques and easy-drinking lifestyle ranges like Sixpence, Opstal wines showcase the best of the Slanghoek terroir.

Opstal is not just about great wine — it’s about community, history, and hospitality. The estate honours its rich legacy of farm workers, like the legendary Daniel "Sixpence" Smiles, and today remains committed to sustainable farming, family values, and welcoming visitors with warm country hospitality.

Whether tasting wines overlooking the valley, sharing a meal at the estate restaurant, or simply taking in the views, at Opstal, every experience is rooted in heritage and crafted with heart.
