Eight generations down the line, Stettyn cellar well worth a pit stop

WHAT’S NOT TO LIKE about the 2018 Stone White blend from Stettyn Family Vineyards, between the mountains on the road between Villiersdorp and Worcester. Won the 2018 Ultra Value Wine Challenge, a double gold blend of Chenin and Sauvignon Blanc, less than 13% Alc, only R39 a bottle from the cellar door!

Homestead dating back to 1777. Acquired by the Botha family in 1818. “An old grain stone watermill, built in 1985, stands sentinel over the winery,” the cellar established in 1963.

Now a nice place to picnic – cheese platters on offer, or you can take your own basket of goodies to enjoy with their wines. 100km from Cape Town, Route 43, 15km outside Villiersdorp, 35km from Worcester.
