History
After working in Cape
Town for 20 years, Neville Dorrington and his family decided it was time to
move to the country. Lovers of good food and collectors of good wines, the
search for a wine farm began. Months and miles later, it was decided to buy
an undeveloped farm.
They fell in love with the Tulbagh valley. The splendour
and scenic beauty of the Tulbagh valley is hard to beat. One hour from Cape
Town, the little valley lies in a fertile basin almost completely surrounded
by the majestic Winterhoek and Witzenberg mountains, often snow-capped in
winter. The Klein Berg River snakes its way across the valley floor,
providing ample water for irrigation.
The town was named after Rijk Tulbagh, governor of the
Cape from 1751 to 1771. Steeped in history, the beautiful Church Street has
32 National Monuments, more than any other street in South Africa.
