About

Built from the ground up in 1984, GlenWood has earned a distinguished reputation for its wines, particularly its Chardonnay, while its setting among the Franschhoek Mountains offers visitors the chance to taste alongside gourmet sushi and fynbos walks that immerse them in the valley's distinctive terroir. The estate's combination of vineyard craftsmanship and carefully curated hospitality—from guided tastings to a mountain tasting room with panoramic views—reflects a thoughtful approach to winemaking rooted in this corner of South Africa.
