Celebrating its 115th birthday this year, the Vineyard Hotel & Spa was originally the home of Lady Anne Barnard who acquired a farm that already had 22 000 planted vines and named the property, the Vineyard. In celebration of 350-years of winemaking in South Africa this year, the hotel has re-planted a symbolic vineyard in association with five family-owned Estates namely; Meerlust, Warwick, Simonsig, Waterford and Klein Constantia.
