Nederburg

The sun is already high over Paarl as you turn off towards Daljosafat. On the passenger seat lies a note with two different sets of opening hours.

Nederburg is in the Daljosafat area, a good three kilometres east of central Paarl. Philippus Wolvaart founded it in 1791, says paarl.net. Nederburg now belongs to Heineken Beverages, which took over Distell in 2023 and this estate with it. The brand was relaunched in 2025. No sale had been reported by September 2026.

Tastings take place in the Manor House. The Manor Tasting changes its wines every week, and the house also serves breakfast and lunch, with picnics in the garden. The sources disagree on opening hours: the insideguide portal says daily 10:00 to 17:00 except Tuesdays, with bookings required from eight people, but gives no date; other listings say Wednesday to Sunday or Wednesday to Monday. Check with the estate before you drive out.

When
conflicting: daily 10:00 to 17:00 except Tue (insideguide) or Wed to Sun, also given as Wed to Mon (paarl.net), as of September 2026

Our tipDo not plan Nederburg for a Tuesday: none of the sources has the estate open that day. Whether the Manor Tasting and the kitchen are running on your day is best confirmed directly with the estate.
