AA Badenhorst Family Wines

Spectacular Swartland farm long producing some of the finest dry land wines in the world. The farm, like its owners, is unpretentious, rambling, chock full of history and character. The staff are excellent, the food sublime & the wines just glorious. Adi & team you continue to innovate free fof all pretense. Semma runs the hospitality with charm & flair & her unassuming husband Charl cooks up a storm in the kitchen & huge pizza oven - think roast lamb, farm chicken & veggies that will convert the most hard core carnivore. The accommodation is steeped in old farmstead charm, spacious, rambling & stacked with charm. For a truly outstanding gasvryheid experience stay a full weekend.

Adi and the team, what an amazing weekend we had at your farm. The rooms are so beautifully done, full of character The dinner on the Friday night was absolutely incredible. Compliments to your brother and the influence your mother must have passed on to you. The tasting we will never forget, the most expressive by Adi in full flight. Don't miss this special part of the world, The Swartland, has so much to offer.

We had the most fantastic, informative and entertaining wine tasting with Selma Willemse today 24/9/25 at AA Badenhorst. She knows her stuff and is delightfully unpretentious- often rare in the wine industry. Then we enjoyed a harvest table lunch under the vine at the back of this little gem called Kalmoesfontein with a rich history. Accommodation also available and looks 👌

After 5 years we returned to our wedding location for a beautiful stay in the Silo. "Towering" on top of the venue you have a wonderful view over the valley. There is a private pool, a little "Orangerie" with a braai area. Kitchen is fully equipped. A complementary bottle of cold Chenin Secateurs is waiting. Fresh bread and Farm fresh eggs... The staff is so welcoming and helpful. If you have the possibility - join the legendary Pizza night. A lot of locals will be there. Lovely for kids... Lots of Papegaai to watch. It is always like coming home.

Treat yourself to a visit to this working farm - home to some of South Africa's best wines. We stayed in the Stables cottage and the attention to every luxury detail spoke to my soul! Ice cold bottle of white wine in the fridge, fresh farm made sour dough bread, farm eggs, everything is such a spoil. The cottage is fitted with only the best linen, towels and kitchen appliances and has every amenity including an outdoor bath. High recommend to anyone wanting to "check out" of the city. Book a wine tasting while you are there.

We had a wine tasting aswell as a lunch here and we were so spoiled and impressed. We tasted about 6 wines and got a complimentary tasting of their homemade cherry. The winemaker gave us a small but informative explanation with each wine, and later on showed us the cellar. The staff and wine maker were so friendly and accommodating. The food we were served was better than a mother's home cooked meal, which means it was amazing. I am stunned by this hidden gem I have found today. Will definitely be back to enjoy more. This place makes u and your family feel at home.

Absolutely fantastic stay at the Baden Horst farmhouses. I stayed here with my whole family and we rented several of the self catering villas/rooms on offer. Whichever accommodation you decide to rent, you won't be disappointed! From the moment you enter the farm, you'll love your stay here! All of the villas/rooms are renovated beautifully and decorated subtly. From bathroom amenities to the fresh bread, eggs and milk as well as the bottle of wine upon arrival are great touches. It was also great to explore the property, discover the different animals as well as hiking and fishing. If there's one thing I think could further improve, the experience is to have a mosquito net over each and every bed. Not only does this add to the coziness scale but it would also be useful given the flies/mosquitoes around.

We had a fantastic wine tasting experience at AA Badenhorst. A phenomenally unique experience all round! Would love to return in the future and stay in their lovely accommodation offerings. Thank you!
