Exceptional Wines, Rooibos, and Buchu Teas from Olifants River
Tierhoek Winery – A Historic Farm Revitalized
Tierhoek Winery is a remarkable wine estate nestled at the edge of the Cederberg region, surrounded by the majestic peaks of the Piekenierskloof Mountain. This area experiences hot, dry summers and cool, rainy winters, complemented by refreshing afternoon breezes from the Atlantic Ocean. Originally established in 1886, Tierhoek is one of the oldest farms on the Western Coast of Africa. Owners Shelley and Tony Sandell have lovingly restored the original farm buildings, preserving their historical charm while enhancing the estate's natural beauty. Today, Tierhoek is celebrated for its high-quality wines, as well as its premium Rooibos and Buchu teas.
The vineyards span approximately seventeen hectares in the northern part of the Western Cape, providing an ideal environment for grape cultivation.
Crafting Unique Wines with Character
At Tierhoek Winery, the combination of favorable climate, soil, and careful vineyard management results in low grape yields that produce exceptional wines. The grapes are fermented in barrels, allowing for the development of distinct flavors and aromas. Each wine reflects the unique characteristics of the region, showcasing true complexity and depth.
Diverse Grape Varieties and Biodiversity
The estate cultivates a variety of grapes, including Chardonnay, Chenin Blanc, Sauvignon Blanc, Mourvèdre, Syrah, and Grenache. These grapes are carefully selected to create a range of wines, from red and white to rosé, sparkling, and dessert wines. Since 2007, Tierhoek Winery has been a proud member of the Biodiversity & Wine Initiative (BWI), emphasizing its commitment to sustainable practices and environmental stewardship.

The best wine tasting experience you can get! The place is a bit remote ans the drive to reach it will offer you amazing green luscious views of vineyards and orange trees and rocky hills. The tasting is led by the winemaker himself, Charles, who is very passionate and knows his stuff very well. The wines are amazing - and the prices too!! And you can take a nice walk around the property too.

Small, authentic winery located at high altitude. Great accomodation available on the farm with great wines.
If you phone ahead you can arrange a tasting with the wine maker.
Was a great personable experience that I can highly recommend.

The most enjoyable Cederberg stay we’ve had. Brilliant wine, excellent hosts Harry & Charl. The cottage was excellent with every detail very considered. I would highly recommend Tierhoek.

Had a wonderful Saturday on the farm and an excellent wine tasting. Thanks to Charl for letting us celebrate a birthday with a wine tasting - we thoroughly enjoyed it and the wine is EXCELLENT! Definitely coming back for a red wine tasting and just to enjoy the beautiful old house and surroundings.

We visited the winery during our SA vacation 3 years ago, after it was recommended by a friend. Stunning drive to the winery, very warm & friendly welcome by the farm manager & the tasting was great as well. Very down to earth! The only problem was, that we couldn’t take more wine with us home on the plane. :-)
