Durbanville wine farms offer some of the best views of Table Mountain available, an excellent backdrop for tasting some top quality wines. Situated in the Durbanville area is where you would find Maastricht Wines.
The clay-rich soils around Tygerberg collects water during the cold and wet winters in Cape Town. Maastricht is located close to the Atlantic Ocean. The cooling wind coming from the ocean provides a balanced microclimate, perfect for the viticulture of Maastricht wines.
This beautiful farm greets you with a winding flower-filled pathway, vineyards and hills to complete the backdrop. Maastricht has been owned by the Louw family since 1982.
The farms’ name originated from the first settlers searching for fertile land with the ambition to establish agriculture close to the Cape Colony to supply the Dutch East India Company on their own ward journeys. Looking at the clay soils, they were reminded of the soils of their hometown – Maastricht – hence the name.
What used to be an old barn has now been converted into a beautiful tasting room. Some light meals or snacks with cheese and charcuterie platters are available for purchase at the tasting room.
