ABOUT
In 2003, at the age of 78, Lady May de Lencquesaing, then owner of the famous Château Pichon Longueville Comtesse de Lalande, a Grand Cru Classé from Pauillac, Bordeaux, purchased the estate, part of the original Ida’s Valley farm, granted in 1682 by Simon van der Stel. With a nod to the French Huguenot settlers 300 years prior, she set about planting vines to replace the existing fruit trees, realizing her vision of establishing a thriving winery that best utilises the soils and microclimate of the valley and supports local economic development and the community. Thus, Glenelly Estate was reborn.
Join Dirk van Zyl, wine maker at Glenelly for an immersive, infotaining evening to experience some of the best wines South-Africa has to offer and learn about the history of this incredible institution in the wine industry with its own glass museum.
