They are doing something right!
This is obviously an industry and they are doing great things to promote SA. Wine is mediocre but the experience won’t kill anybody.
Have not had the pleasure to visit the farm, but did meet Van Loveren wines at Cafedomancy in Alberton with the JBU team. Excellent wines, excellent company. Thank you Robert.
Interestingly brilliant! I think the experience is awesome – sitting on plastic chairs at plastic tables under the trees sounds rather boring and cheap but I won’t stop there and talk you out of the visit you were planning.
There are enough wines to suit any taste bud or preference. Go with an open mind and good company. Take your time and taste as much as you can!
Eventually you will start to realise why everyone at some point in there life has bought and drunk a bottle VL wines.
Beautiful farm with the best wines in the area! The Four Cousins and Papillon Sparkling wines are delightful, especially the Four Cousins White sparkler. All in all the best farm to enjoy the wine quality, the scenery, a very cute hostess and get a feel for why Van Loveren is so popular.
Four Cousins! Yeah! Corporate Wine Magic with a potato swirl to complete the experience!

I’ve been to Van Loveren 2 years ago and I can still remember the awesome time that we had there. One weekend, 6 of us decided to explore the Robertson wine route. On our arrival at Van Loveren we were informed that they where closed for a wedding and that we can’t buy any wine, but that we were more than welcome to do a tasting. The guy took out a few bottles (including a full bottle of bubbly) and gave us the key to the storage room where they keep the wine that they have on tasting. He looked at the boys and said: “Don’t mess up my place, have a good time and leave the key under the mat.”………. Are you for real dude?
They have such a big selection that we did not know where to start, but we helped ourself to some fabulous wines and enjoyed one of our most memorable tasting experiences ever!
So overrated!
Spot on Monique. Definitely the best hosts ever!
Recently we stayed the weekend at Pat Busch Nature Reserve, just outside of Robertson.
Naturally Saturday, wine tasting was the order of the day..
Being the gorgeous day that is was, we decided to target wine farms where you could sit outside and enjoy the scenery, warmth and of course good wine !
We arrived at Van Loveren Wine Farm, but were told that they were actually closed due to a wedding taking place that day.
However, we were offered to help ourselves to their wine and sit outside in their beautiful garden,sheltered by magnificent trees.
We were made to feel so at home and thoroughly contented. We tried of their various red, whites and champagnes…They clearly not only judge their wines really well, but also people….
I had been feeling in somewhat of a sweet, festive mood.Upon noting this i was offered their delicious champagne..truly delightful !
I can quite safely say that discovering these amazing people and their delightful and most alluring wines, was certainly the hilight of our weekend. Also tasting and trying wines the way were able to relax and enjoy them taught me more about wines and the pleasures of them. Usually wine tasting is quite fast paced or you have to many wines to try in short breaks, that a name is forgotten.
On this occassion, i not only remembered the names, but discovered a few new,favourite pleasures !
It was quite clear upon meeting these innovative people, how warm and great energy they have…
A article i discovered..
“A perfect example of the Retief family’s commitment and loyalty was illustrated during a flood that hit the Van Loveren cellar in March 2003. The Breede River that runs through the farm rose to its highest level in 70 years and the maturation cellar was 1,6 metres under water. The ensuing chaos was calmly handled by the whole family and within two weeks the entire operation was up and running again and back to normal three months later.”
Much respect and thank you for your amazing hospitality !
We will most certainly come again !
