Winery Anthonij Rupert
The Anthonij Rupert WineryThe Anthonij Rupert Winery, which still bears the name of its founder and is now run by younger generations, is one of the most exciting projects in South African viticulture. Whereby one should actually speak in the plural. Some time ago, the Ruperts crossed the boundaries once set by the slopes of the Groot Drakenstein Mountains in Franschhoek and now vinify wine in four different regions.
Anthonij Rupert Wyne is a wine estate situated in the picturesque Franschhoek wine valley in South Africa. Visitor facilities include the Franschhoek Motor Museum and two tasting rooms, each with its own unique offering. A complimentary tram service allows guests to shuttle between these facilities and make a day of their visit without having to drive themselves. Restaurant, wine tasting, museum, high tea service, panoramic tour, farm shop & private dining.
