Beaumont

Beaumont is situated on the historic Compagnes Drift Farm near the village of Bot River, which originally was a trading outpost of the Dutch East India Company in the 1700s. Today Beaumont Wines is a family-run farm producing a range of high-quality premium wines. It is located at the foot of the Houwhoek Mountains, which are found halfway between Hermanus and Cape Town.

Raoul and Jayne Beaumont bought the property in 1973 and they restored the original cellar and planted an initial 5 hectares of vineyards. Today there are nearly 50 hectares of vineyards planted with a wide range of varietals. Sebastian Beaumont is now the winemaker and the wines are now some of the most sought-after in South Africa.
