Rupert Wine Estate Experience
Visitors to Anthonij Rupert and L’Ormarins Estates are able to purchase an ‘all in one’ voucher, to keep them entertained for the whole day.
For ease of convenience, Estate package vouchers can be purchased in advance or at any one of the visitors’ points on the property. From here your tour begins and the voucher is simply handed in at each point.
With the Estate’s tram service operating between points, visitors can spend as much time in each point as they wish before moving on to the next point, catering both to travellers at leisure as well as those with a schedule to keep.
Visitors should however allow a minimum of 3 hours for the total package in order to enjoy it all.
Perfect for tour groups, company incentive groups, team building outings, treating someone to a special outing or simply a day out in Franschhoek with a group of friends.

Wine Pairings at Rupert Wines
Italian Cheese & Wine: Indulge the senses with a delectable Italian Cheese and Wine Tasting at the Terra del Capo Tasting Room. This interactive, fun and educational tasting is presented by one of our Tasting Room assistants, who will take you through the tasting, sharing information about how the cheeses have been made and their places of origin, as well as how they best pair with a selection of wines.
Nougat & MCC: Breaking with tradition the estate’s three L’Ormarins Méthode Cap Classiques (MCC) have each been paired with handcrafted artisanal nougat, which perfectly complements the wines as well as showcasing their versatility as a partner to food.
Shiraz & Charcuterie: Charcuterie’s salty, aromatic flavours and sweet, rich fattiness are naturally complemented by the typically bright acidity, bold fruitiness, and spiciness of outstanding Shiraz wines – a partnership which this tasting experience aims to highlight.
