This 44 hectare vineyard of which 22 hectares are under vines with its rugged mountain slopes, experiences variances in altitude which range from approximately 300 to 500 m above sea level. This creates microclimates which are conducive to making multilayered, complex wines.  The Restaurant, headed by executive Chef Christiaan Campbell, has created accessible and approachable fine cuisine with fresh and vibrant flavours. Guests are able to dine on the terrace under a canopy of pin oak trees or within the spectacular interiors whilst enjoying the breathtaking views Delaire allows of the Stellenbosch valley and mountains
Tasting the wines in the Wine Lounge is a great opportunity to experience the Delaire Range while enjoying the breathtaking views. Tasting options include informal tasting, tutored tastings or food and wine paired tastings..
