On the slopes of the Simonsberg, just outside Stellenbosch, lies
Marianne Wine Estate – a boutique property where South African terroir meets French winemaking tradition. Founded by Bordeaux winemakers, the estate brings a European touch to the Cape, producing elegant reds with a distinct sense of place.
Staying here means waking up among vineyards and olive groves, with panoramic views of the mountains. The guesthouse is intimate and welcoming, offering rustic-chic rooms and suites that balance comfort with a homely atmosphere.
.. Some even open onto private terraces, ideal for ending the day with a glass of the estate’s acclaimed Cabernet Sauvignon or Cape Blend.
Tastings are personal and immersive, often paired with local specialties like biltong to highlight the wines’ character. Guests can stroll the vineyards, relax by the pool, or use the estate as a base to explore Stellenbosch and Franschhoek.
Stay here for an experience where wine, hospitality, and scenery flow seamlessly together. Read more
