Beaumont Family Wines — Attraction in Theewaterskloof Local Municipality

As someone in the wine industry that has visited a number of estates, our recent three-night stay at Beaumont Family Wines truly stands out as one of the most memorable experiences my husband and I have had.||||We stayed in their Pepper Tree Cottage, a gorgeous self-catering house that was the perfect balance between rustic and cozy. From the wood fire that kept us warm on chilly winter evenings to the fully equipped kitchen (ideal for cooking in), every detail was thoughtfully curated. They even stocked us with fresh farm eggs, milk, homemade sourdough bread, rusks, coffee and tea which made the mornings feel indulgent in the best way.||||We took full advantage of the wood-fired braai, grilling outdoors with a bottle of wine in hand. On the nights we didn’t feel like cooking, their on-site deli and restaurant serves up homemade meals straight from their open kitchen; beautifully prepared, with frozen options as well for convenience. Everything we ate was clearly made with care and intention.||||One of the most special parts of our stay was for Sebastian, the owner and winemaker, who personally took us through the vineyards and generously shared insight into his approach to viticulture. My favorite is their Chenin Blanc, and Sebastian's reverence for the grape shows in the bottle! The wine tasting itself was included in our stay, hosted by knowledgeable and welcoming staff, and showcased a portfolio that reflects deep skill and care.||||Though it was winter and many of the vines and fruit trees were dormant, the landscaping was stunning! Lush, green, and dotted with blooming flower gardens. Walking around the property was peaceful and refreshing, made even more magical by the wildlife: flocks of guinea fowl, ibis, birds of prey, and countless other species made it a birdwatcher’s paradise!||||The location is also perfect for exploring the region. We took a day trip to Hermanus, only 25 minutes away, and enjoyed the coastal walking trail, wave watching, and sightings of adorable dassies (rock hyrax). Though we were a bit early for whale season, it was still a scenic outing, with lots of cafes and shops to wander through.||||Whether you’re in the wine trade like me or simply a lover of warm hospitality, incredible wine, and scenic landscapes, Beaumont is a must-visit. This is a true family farm, with everyone hands-on and genuinely invested in your experience (thanks Craig!). We left feeling connected, not just to the place, but to the...

My family of 5 stayed at Beaumont recently for a long weekend. The cottage was quaint and had everything we needed, from small, considered touches to beautiful, comfortable linens and lovely charms around the cottage, such as warm, baked sourdough bread and butter and a selection of the farm's exquisite wines. The cottage has 2 fireplaces which warmed up the entire space and has a big balcony that we were able to relax on while the kids played and rode their bikes. Other small and delightful touches are the little play area for the kids - a large green garden with a trampoline and sandpit and tree house which is right by a few tables so Mom and Dad can enjoy a glass of wine while the little ones play. I have small kids so these small touches are particularly meaningful as sometimes play areas mean mom and dad are also in the play area but this is just beautiful. The deli is also a short stroll from the cottage. Here you'll find a selection of freezer meals (the ones we tried were all delicious), coffees, brunch and lunch. ALL the staff are incredibly friendly and welcoming. ||I have only wonderful and gushing things to offer about this lovely family owned farm and cannot wait to...

Beaumont is a neighboring wine farm and we love popping in for a lunch occasionally. It is absolutely beautiful. There is seating outside under the trees or indoors, it is casual, the staff are warm and friendly. The menu is small but the food is excellent. Don't expect pizzas and burgers. The meze platter is excellent and I love their hot smoked salmon salad. My partner gobbled up his dish - a gruyer and onion tart with kale salad. The owners dogs lounge around in the sunshine and may come for a tickle, and the owners themselves are usually on hand and very friendly. It's really a wonderful wonderful wine farm to visit. And also lovely to just pop in for a coffee and cake....if wine is not your thing. But you'd have to be crazy to not try their wines! There is also a deli with great take home meals, gifts etc and of course the wines are outstanding. Most definitely worth a visit. Oh yes...don't forget dessert. The apple and rhubarb...
