AA Badenhorst Family Wines

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 👌

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!

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.

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.

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.

Very Friendly service and great accommodation facilities....Wine and Pizza is Topnotch!

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.

Hidden gem. This is an authentic Swartland experience. Woodfired pizza - owner is hands on and such a nice guy! Friendly staff and great local wines, all from Kalmoesfontein. Quirky decor. Highly recommended! Try the Aspoestertjie Pizza.
