Seven Sisters Winery: A Gem of the Western Cape

Seven Sisters Vineyards, a pioneering winery owned by black women, is nestled in the heart of Stellenbosch, South Africa's renowned Wine Lands. Founded in 2005 by Vivian Kleynhans, this winery represents a powerful legacy of resilience and hope. The story of Seven Sisters begins with the Brutus Family, who faced hardship after being evicted from their home in Paternoster, a village celebrated for its fishing heritage.

A Heartwarming Reunion

The Brutus siblings grew up in a challenging environment but reunited two decades later with a shared vision: to create African Roots Wine Brands. Under the leadership of self-taught entrepreneur Vivian Kleynhans, Seven Sisters Winery has become a significant player in the South African wine industry.

Unique Wines from a Rich Heritage

The dream of producing exquisite wines took shape in 2012 when Chardonnay and Shiraz vines were planted on land that once belonged to the Brutus Family. Today, the winery cultivates a diverse range of grapes, including Merlot, Cabernet Sauvignon, Pinotage, Chenin Blanc, Sauvignon Blanc, Moscato, Chardonnay, Shiraz, and Cape Blend. This variety allows for the creation of unique red and white wine blends that reflect the winery's rich heritage.

Seven Sisters Winery stands as a tribute to sisterhood and the art of winemaking that is deeply rooted in South Africa.

We hosted my mom's 60th surprise birthday celebration here and it was amazing. The stuff were lovely and supportive. Great venue and great food as well as great views. I highly recommend this place especially when you have an intimate social event. We had less that 40 people and it was a blast🎊

This was my 2nd time visiting the venue and today absolutely topped it. The diversity of women sharing their talents and gems, their poetry and song was just awesome. Rebound names of women with international recognitions, motivating each other. The food and desserts were delicious 😋 Thank you Vivienne and co. Thank you Seven sisters!

For sure one of South Africans best kept secrets. Planning a visit to the Stellenbosch area? Do not drive past, so much is happening on this beautiful farm. The Village Table is a breakfast & lunch restaurant, with inside & outside seating. The large grass area also has a sandpit & swing area for the kids and a volleyball court. The Seven Sisters Winery offers a beautiful wine tasting area inside and outside on the covered stoep, but they will do a special tasting for you down by the river too. Here you can also stock up on their own Seven Sisters & Brutus family reserve wines. Then there's the most stunning venue including a honeymoon suite. Sensory overload with breathtaking views of mountains & vineyards and friendly staff who are passionate about what they do. An experience you'll never forget. Definitely worth a few visits for sure. Highly recommended.
