On 2 February 1659, the first South African wine was recorded, marking the start of a legacy that continues to thrive today.
At the heart of Route 62, the Robertson Wine Valley—home to McGregor, Ashton, Bonnievale, and Robertson—boasts over 40 wineries producing award-winning Chardonnays, Sauvignon Blancs, and Cap Classiques. With its lime-rich soils, sun-drenched days, and cool nights, this region crafts exceptional wines enjoyed worldwide.
Beyond the vineyards, explore river cruises, MTB trails, skydiving, and olive oil tastings, or indulge in farm-to-table dining and craft beer. A visit here is more than a tasting—it’s an experience.
Raise a glass to 366 years of South African wine and the magic of the Robertson Wine Valley!

Meet Denryck Davids from McGregor, a talented artist with a deep feeling for his craft.
What was your first thought when you heard you were a finalist?
My first thought of the news was a tear - light will now see the sky.
Who or what inspires you the most as an artist?
Breyten Breytenbach was one of my biggest inspirations as a writer. In an art way, it will be
Die Hooflig that made me realize that I can improve, because I want to sound like this and be remembered - a dead ordinary person with a feeling and passion for what I tackle.
If you have to describe yourself in three words?
Simple, humble and a keeper.
Interesting fact about yourself?
I am a proud daybreaker!

This morning, before the sun had fully risen, the first grapes of the 2025 harvest were carefully picked at Lord’s Wines—Chardonnay for their MCC. Harvesting at dawn preserves the crisp freshness of the grapes, ensuring the finest quality for this celebrated méthode cap classique.
It’s a magical time in McGregor as the vineyards come alive with the energy of the harvest season.
Plan a visit to Lord’s Wines and experience the magic of McGregor’s wine country for yourself.
