Avondale Wine Estate is home to stunning natural and cultivated beauty, offering more than just vineyards and winemaking. The estate boasts seven spectacular organic garden experiences: the Cellar Gardens and waterways, the private gardens of Ginny, Suzanne, Ruth, and Julie, the Rose Garden, and the working vegetable garden that supplies FABER Restaurant. The historic werf area is framed by Cape Dutch buildings dating back to 1813, while the estate’s cattle graze the fields, serving as natural lawnmowers.

Avondale is deeply committed to conservation, from the fynbos and indigenous plants in the “wildflower garden” to the wildlife that roams freely across the Klein Drakensberg Mountain. These organically maintained gardens offer guests a peaceful retreat, blending indigenous plants, beautiful vistas, and serene spaces for picnics or leisurely walks.

Every year, we celebrate our passion for nature by opening these seven private gardens to the public, inviting visitors to share in our love for this tranquil and biodiverse landscape.
