The history of Steenberg Estate
STEENBERG WINE ESTATE dates back to 1682. Now lovingly restored, it has been declared a National Monument. Residents are now able to enjoy the legendary elegance and traditions of the 17th century blended harmoniously with the most refined luxuries and conveniences of our modern age.
Steenberg (Mountain of Stone) is the oldest wine farm in the Cape Peninsula, dating back to the days of Simon van der Stel. The original land grant for the farm was allocated to Catharina Ustings Ras by Governor van der Stel. Catharina was a controversial character of pioneering spirit, who as young widow had left her native Germany to undertake the perilous journey to the tip of Africa. Although she settled on the farm in 1682, an official mandate was only granted to her in 1688 “to cultivate, to plough, to sow and to possess” the land. She first named it Swaaneweide – the feeding place of swans.
The modern day Steenberg consists of:
- A boutique hotel which is a haven of serenity and gracious hospitality. With just twenty-four elegant, air-conditioned rooms all overlooking the vineyards or manicured gardens.
- Patrons are richly rewarded when visiting award-winning chef, Garth Almazan, at Catharina’s Restaurant in which guests are invited to relax, dine in style and enjoy sophisticated South African cuisine.
- A state-of-the-art modern winery, producing some of the country’s finest award-winning wines.
- A championship 18-hole golf-course designed by Peter Matkovich which is the centre-piece of the 225 homes, with each home being unique with luxury finishes.
