The Wilson family, owners of Lothian of Elgin, exemplifies a commitment to quality through their traditional Burgundian-style winemaking. Their choice of winemaker, Richard Kershaw, a Master of Wine, further enhances their dedication to crafting remarkable wines.
At Lothian, minimal intervention in the vineyard preserves the integrity of the fruit, allowing Richard to create wines that are both elegant and complex. The estate is located in the Kogelberg Biosphere, home to 1,654 unique plant species. The Lothian Lake House, a stunning example of modern architecture, was built with environmental sensitivity in mind, resulting in a luxurious retreat that complements its natural surroundings.
Set along the banks of the Palmiet River and overlooking a serene private lake, Lothian Vineyards stands out for its exceptional wines. The cool-climate terroir of Elgin is ideal for cultivating Burgundian-style varietals, including Pinot Noir, Chardonnay, and Riesling. Additionally, Lothian produces a refined single-cultivar rosé from Mourvèdre, showcasing the versatility and quality of their vineyards.

Write a reviewAll 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.

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
