Lovane Boutique Wine Estate and Guest House
Lovane is one of the smallest wine estates near Stellenbosch, situated in the picturesque Boland, neighbouring the famous Neethlingshof Wine Estate and Overgaauw Wine Estate. 2.5 hectares of vineyards were planted on virgin land. 90% Cabernet Sauvignon, 5% Cabernet Franc and 5% Petit Verdot are the varieties planted. After many hours of hard work and years of nursing the vines, the first harvest was produced in 2006. In the interest of quality, only 13 000 to 16 000 litres are produced annually. All the grapes are hand-picked and sorted on sorting tables and only the best grapes are used. Chickens, peacocks, spotted dikkops, guinea fowl and partridges roam freely in the vineyards and at night the chickens and peacocks roost in the tops of the trees. The guest house consists of 16 double rooms, one of which is the Bridal suite, two luxury rooms and one specially adapted disabled room. Lovane is a working farm, run and owned by the Visser family. We have ideally situated only 6km from the historical centre of Stellenbosch, 22km from Cape Town International Airport and 35km from Cape Town City Centre.
