Welbedacht – pronounced Well-be-duct means well thought in High Dutch and was demarcated in 1830 from the farm Driefontein – meaning three fountains – in the Wellington district, which was granted by the Dutch Governor, Simon van der Stel, of the Cape Province, the most southern province in South Africa in the early 1700’s.

The Burger family acquired Welbedacht in 1997 after also buying the neighboring farm and the two farms form the Welbedacht Wine Estate, which means all the wine must be grown, made and bottled on the Estate.

On the 16 of September 2023 we will host our 9th event on the Run The Vines calendar for the 2023 season.
