Oldenburg Vineyards, situated in the picturesque Banghoek Valley, is honoured to be part of the AfrAsia Bank Cape Wine Auction 2016 and is making a difference by contributing a signficant Lot for one fortunate bidder.
“The Oldenburg Lot” includes a three-night stay for eight guests in the magnificent Oldenburg Homestead and a limited release 5-litre Oldenburg Cabernet Sauvignon 2012.

Spacious and elegantly proportioned, the 200 year old Homestead has been meticulously restored, modernised and opened up to create a seamless flow of exquisitely furnished indoor and outdoor spaces for relaxed family living and sophisticated entertaining. Surrounded by a well-established garden, olive groves and vineyards, the double-storey home has deep verandas, a large swimming pool and a sleek, glass-walled gym from which to appreciate the dramatic Groot Drakenstein Mountains. It comes with a resident manager – a trained butler with sharply honed concierge skills – and two housekeepers.
