Located in the picturesque Elgin region, Lothian of Elgin benefits from high altitudes and the cooling influence of the nearby Atlantic Ocean. This unique climate is ideal for cultivating outstanding grape varieties such as Pinot Noir, Chardonnay, Rosé, Grüner Veltliner, and Riesling. Our non-interventionist winemaking approach allows the natural flavors of the grapes to shine through, resulting in wines that are true to their origins.

At Lothian of Elgin, we believe in working harmoniously with nature. Our grapes are hand-harvested at their peak ripeness to ensure maximum flavor. After harvesting, they are carefully transported to our winery, where we maintain their integrity and unique clonal characteristics. Under the expertise of Richard Kershaw, a Master of Wine, we produce elegant and complex wines that reflect the distinct climate and terroir of our vineyards.

Each bottle of wine tells a unique story, showcasing the specific clone, vineyard site, and soil, all influenced by the vintage and climate. Our wines are crafted with precision, allowing the vineyard's characteristics to shine. These age-worthy wines offer a genuine taste of the Lothian terroir, making them a must-try for any wine lover. Join us for a memorable wine tasting experience with stunning views of Palmiet.

We visited the wine farm today as part of the cool wine festival. We were absolutely blown away by the hospitality of Gavin at the Lothian vineyards. Thank you for accommodating large group with such crazy demands. We had an amazing time!

The Lothian Vineyards is situated in Overberg just outside of Grabouw. This venue is also used for weddings functions and film shoots. The absolute view at the foot of the mountain with vineyards and dams has an endless variety of beautiful views at any moment on the farm. All activities of farming continue on a daily basis

All I can say is wow...we have been trying for awhile to visit this wine estate but somehow can never get through over the years...but this estate is something else...from the moment you drive through the estate & approach the lake & house you realise this estate is special...the location could not be better...with sweeping views over the Elgin valley, lake & mountains the venue is totally unique...there is no equal...there are no other estates close by as it dominates the entire region...the service was really friendly by our host...she went out of her way to make us comfortable...the wines on the estate were good...would definitely return...a few things to take note...we called in advance to book the tasting & I mentioned to the guy that answered that we would be coming in 30 mins...we get to the gate buzzing the buzzer for 10 mins no one answers...there is no reception to call again but luckily another lady was leaving & we managed to get in...the path to the house/tasting area is on the paved road...do'nt follow the signs to the cellar...if you driving on the dirt road...you are not on the correct path...

10 years ago, we hosted our wedding at Lothian Vineyards. Yesterday, we celebrated our 10th wedding anniversary. My husband and I decided to revisit Lothian. The house and its surroundings are still "utterly" breathtaking and very well maintained. The manager Wendy was so friendly and welcoming. She really made us feel special and celebrated. It was truly a blissful and memorable experience. The wines were top-notch (as always). Thank you, Lothian Vineyards. Your hospitality is unmatched.

An absolute must visit - their hospitality matches their wine, and wow their wine are good! Reminiscent of Burgundy Red and White, you just cannot have enough. Thank you Gavin for giving us an experience of a lifetime! Would definitely recommend you go visit!
