VAN LOVEREN

Van Loveren has been in the Retief family since 1937 when Hennie Retief acquired the land in the Robertson Valley. From humble beginnings Van Loveren has grown to become South Africa's leading family-owned winery, known for their consistency, award-winning wines as well as innovation.
 
From the guided garden tours to the contemporary on-site bistro, Van Loveren is a must-visit Robertson attraction.
