La Vierge Winery: A Legacy of Winemaking Since 1997

La Vierge is a family-owned winery renowned for producing exceptional wines since 1997. The name 'La Vierge' translates to 'virgin' in French, inspired by the stunning Hemel-en-Aarde Valley in the Overberg region, famous for its whale-watching opportunities in Hermanus. Originally designed by the Johnson Family, the winery was acquired by the La Vierge family in the same year. After extensive renovations completed in 2007, the winery now features state-of-the-art equipment and modern facilities.
La Vierge Winery is celebrated for its unique wines, earning a stellar reputation both locally and internationally.
The winery boasts a spacious production facility on the north side and a sunken maturation room filled with distinctive oak barrels on the south side. La Vierge Winery continues to craft exceptional wines, enhancing both its brand and vineyards since its inception.

Organic Practices and Sustainable Viticulture

Situated on the slopes of the Bokkeveld Series rock formation, La Vierge Winery employs organic farming methods without additional irrigation. The closely spaced vines promote a concentrated flavor profile and rich texture. Although the yield is low, the quality of the grapes is remarkably high, ensuring the production of premium wines.

Diverse Grape Varieties

La Vierge Winery cultivates a variety of grapes, including Chardonnay, Pinot Noir, Sangiovese, Sauvignon Blanc, Riesling, Semillon, Merlot, Petit Verdot, and Shiraz. The winery focuses on selecting the finest grapes to create high-quality red and white wines that reflect the unique terroir of the Cape South Coast.

We came to do a family wine tasting at the Vierge Noire and we will keep a wonderful memory of it! The staff is very friendly and the wine delicious. We then ate very good cuts of meat there! We recommend it with our eyes closed

This was our second time at La Vierge, and we would go back again and again any chance we can get. The wines are incredible. A good mix of premium quality and value for money. A big thank you to Barry for always making the experience memorable for us.

Definitely a must to experience this wine farm. The views, the art, the wines and not forgetting the theme!!! You need to do the wine tasting and ask for Bruce he is very knowledgeable and offered the best experience. The wines are absolutely spectacular. I am not a red wine person but their red wines I will take anytime. The wine tasting is also very affordable. Here are the pictures I took while I enjoyed my experience.
