This Heritage Day, 24 September, an exquisite event will take place at Lanzerac. Together, we’ll remember 330 years of history, while raising a glass to the future. Take a seat at our long table where an abundant feast awaits, enjoy Lanzerac wines of distinction, take pleasure in an art exhibition of the students of Marie Stander, and immerse yourself in the music of the award-winning Stellenbosch Philharmonic Orchestra.
Lanzerac is steeped in spellbinding history, having been established in 1692 – a mere 13 years after Stellenbosch itself and is the third oldest farm in the area. The first owner was Isaac Schrijver who planted the very first vineyards and, unsurprisingly, named the farm Schoongezicht, meaning wonderful view. In the early 1800’s the first cellar was erected and subsequently complemented by the iconic Manor House, which exhibits an unusually high level of sophistication for Cape Dutch architecture of the period with its main gable dating back to 1830.
It is only fitting that we celebrate our heritage in true Lanzerac style. Guests will be transcended to a place of opulence, legacy and historic charm, while enjoying a delicious feast prepared by Executive Chef, Stephen Fraser, paired with only the finest Lanzerac wines, thanks to Cellar Master, Wynand Lategan.
Lanzerac has stood the test of time, yet there is no time to rest on the award-winning laurels – the best is yet to come.
