McGregor Winery: A Collective of Passionate Grapegrowers

Founded in 1948, McGregor Winery is situated at the southern end of the Robertson Wine Valley, surrounded by the breathtaking Riviersonderend Mountains. This unique winery is a collaboration of thirty-three dedicated farmers who cultivate approximately 14,000 tons of grapes annually, resulting in a diverse range of exceptional South African wines. Originally named “Lady Grey” after the wife of the Cape Governor, the village was renamed McGregor in 1906 to honor a beloved local pastor.

At McGregor Winery, the goal is to blend traditional winemaking methods with modern techniques to create a distinctive selection of wines.

Wines for Every Palate

The region's ideal climate, with its perfect balance of rainfall and sunshine, contributes to the cultivation of high-quality grapes. McGregor Winery focuses on producing innovative and exquisite wines that reflect the character of the land. Their ambition is to build a respected brand that resonates both locally and internationally.

Grape Varieties and Production

With a commitment to quality, the skilled winemakers at McGregor Winery produce nearly 10 million liters of wine each year for both local and international markets. The wines capture the tranquility of the picturesque village. Key grape varieties include Merlot, Cabernet Sauvignon, Sauvignon Blanc, Shiraz, Chardonnay, and Pinotage. Workers meticulously handpick the finest grapes to craft McGregor Winery’s acclaimed red, white, and rosé wines.

This was a big surprise for us. Absolutely one of the best winery experiences we have had. The view of Keuka Lake was amazing from our tasting room table. We really got lucky as our tasting host was Anne, a McGregor, who actually planted some of the existing grape vines when she was 10 years old. Anne explained every wine on the menu, with amazing detail. Our choices, 4 reds and one white, were all fantastic. We, also, ordered a Brie and fruit plate that took the place of lunch. It came with delicious Ciabatta bread, perfect for the Brie. My wife and I highly recommend a visit to this winery!

We had a nice tasting here overall. Staff was friendly but really didn’t tell us anything about the wines (but told us we could read about them) which was disappointing. The wines were good. We had the baked brows and charcuterie which were very tasty. The tasting room was quaint. It was a good stop.
