If Stellenbosch had a crown jewel, it might just be Jordan Wine Estate.
Tucked just 15 minutes from town (and only 25 from Cape Town International Airport), this working wine farm is less of a destination and more of a delicious lifestyle.
Whether you’re a foodie, wine lover, weekend escape artist, or all three, here are 7 must-do experiences that make Jordan a must-sip, must-stay, and must-repeat.
1. Taste the Terroir of Jordan
Start where it all begins — the wine. Join a guided tasting under the trees by the lake or on the terrace overlooking the vineyards. With a breeze in your hair and a glass in hand, you’ll discover exactly why Jordan’s wines are so distinctively delicious.
2. Feast in the Winelands
Whether it’s The Cellar Door’s smash-hit Usana beef burger or beer-battered fish & chips with triple-cooked chunky chips, Jordan’s got the goods. For something more refined, The Jordan Restaurant with Marthinus Ferreira serves seasonal dishes worth writing home (or posting) about. Bonus: it turns three this October, and there’s a celebratory tasting menu for R650!
3. Experience Winelands Living
Live the wine farm dream in The Villa, with its sweeping views and high-end comforts. Or book a stay in a Jordan Luxury Suite and enjoy their #WinelandsGetaway special, complete with a wine tasting, a private dinner basket, bubbly, and breakfast. Think countryside calm meets 5-star spoiling.
4. The Perfect Picnic Spot
Pack the sunscreen and unwind in Jordan’s scenic picnic pods, ideal for couples or small groups. The gourmet baskets from The Cellar Door are next-level. Oh — and yes, they do picnic proposals. Romantic, much?
5. Tour the Estate
Jump in a 4×4 and explore the vineyards with the pros. This 360° tour is part wine tasting, part geography lesson, and part “look at that view!” It’s also a great excuse to sip and snap your way through the hills.
6. Break a Sweat (Then Wine About It)
Lace up for the Renosterveld Run & Ride on 26 October 2025. Choose a scenic 5km trail or cycle your heart out over 34km. Then refuel with a picnic and a glass of wine on the lawn. Reward, unlocked.
7. Book a Celebration
Whether it’s a birthday bash, corporate retreat, or an impromptu treat yo’ self moment, Jordan Wine Estate knows how to throw a good time. Book a private wine tasting, enjoy exclusive access to the estate, or make it a full weekend affair.
From gourmet feasts and hillside wines to luxury stays and vineyard adventures, Jordan Wine Estate has something for every flavour of traveller. Go for the wine, stay for the memories.
