Delaire Graff Estate
Our Opinion of Delaire Graff Estate
Delaire Graff Estate sits in one of the most beautiful settings in Stellenbosch, with mountains rising behind it and vineyards falling away towards the valley floor. Laurence Graff, whose name is better known for diamonds than destinations, has brought the same eye for detail to this wine estate, assembling a team of architects, designers and craftsmen to create something that feels considered at every turn.
Wine is the lifeblood here, and the estate's award-winning wines are the main reason to visit, but the experience goes well beyond the tasting room. Two flagship restaurants showcase the skills of some of the Cape's most exciting chefs, and the setting for each meal is as memorable as the food itself. The spa takes a genuinely holistic approach, with treatments that range from luxurious massage therapies to revolutionary skin treatments. And then there is the art: Laurence Graff's personal collection is displayed throughout, giving the property a gallery-like atmosphere that lifts it above the usual wine estate experience.
The grounds themselves are a remarkable feat of horticulture. Over 350 indigenous plants and trees are woven together with carefully selected exotic species, all curated to encourage biodiversity. A flower-filled amphitheatre greets you on arrival, and the acres of immaculately tended borders, olive groves and kitchen gardens stretch out beyond it. It is a place that rewards time spent wandering.
Delaire Graff Estate is best suited to wine lovers and couples celebrating something special, or anyone who appreciates the marriage of fine wine, food, art and landscape at the highest level. It carries a sense of occasion without being formal, and that is a rare balance to strike.
