The farm will be closed from 18 December 2020 – 5 January 2021 as we all escape the heat and get some rest ahead of the harvest. No tastings or lunches, parties or events.
But before then, Cape Town take note, we are looking out for you this Kaapse Somer.
Buy a box of 6 Caperitif (for R930) and get 24x200ml Swaan for free.
Delivery to Cape Town and surrounds included.

On Sunday 5 December we are welcoming chefs Wesley and Juliet Randles back* onto Kalmoesfontein to cook a fantastic lunch.
The menu sounds amazing, wine will be available at cellar door prices and we would love to see you there.
For more info or to book, contact them via info@randlesandson.com
*Mr and Mrs Randles got married on the farm and this time they are returning with their son Jack.
A sneak peek at an episode of Via’s Sien, smaak, slaap (see, taste, sleep… does not have the same ring to it) shot on Kalmoesfontein and airing on the Afrikaans DSTV channel on 23 October at 17:30.
We are proud to share that we are now an award-winning authentic South African experience!
Charl, Mina and the team were honoured by The Wine and Food Tourism Conference with the honour of The VINPRO Authentic South African Experience Award 2020.
“This award acknowledges original initiatives that create authentic South African experiences in which individuals can fully immerse themselves, and at the same time promote our cultural heritage through food and wine.”

Occasionally we like to remind followers of (and visitors to) our blog to also follow and like our other online pages. We are much more active on the likes of Instagram and Facebook with going-ons, like
features from afar | Adi’s birthday | Swartland mixed cases & online tastings
adventurous and or – | romantic – farm visits | our weekly farm fresh box
About The Kalmoesfontein Box:
From the rusk recipe that Yoliswa started baking with when we first arrived on the farm and Judy’s long beloved marmalades to Charl’s ice-cream successes and the butter Hanneke started churning during lockdown – we’ve always been baking and making, preserving and preparing things grown on the farm in order to elevate meals served from the kitchen.
So, since it seems boxes are the new baskets and we now make enough products of origin Kalmoesfontein, we’ve put together OUR OWN BOX.
delivered to your door*.
The specific weekly box combo gets sent out on (most**) Tuesdays – let me know on aabadenhorstwine@gmail.com if you want to be on the mailing list.
*Swartland, Cape Town and in between only.
**Subject to availability…
Also, coming soon, daily opportunities to lunch with the team. But, more on that via one or all of our platforms, just now…
It has been such a pleasure being able to welcome guests back to the cottages on the farm and judging by our recent reviews, the feeling is mutual.
Kalmoesfontein provides a very relaxing setting, much needed in these crazy days – to take that to the next level and offer a truly reviving weekend away we have partnered with the [w]holistic mobile treatment company.
Always keen to keep things in the family, this mobile beauty salon is run by one of our cousins, Jana. They keep everything covid-safe and sound, have a look at their treatment menu and contact them directly should you be interested.
Combine any of their menu items with your stay on the farm (or bring some close friends – book six of the same treatments and only pay for five).

to book, contact semma@aabadenhorst.com
After much this way and that way, our accommodation is open for leisure travel for guests from within the Western Cape.
As stated before, we will take extra special care to ensure your visit is safe and virus free. In fact we promise that (as long as you switch off your social media) the farm will help you forget about it all.
The fresh air, wide open space and natural products will leave you feeling revived and restored. The kids can run around and play with the animals or in the various play areas (and generally just get out of your hair for a bit…)
If all this sounds like a dream, head over to our accommodation pages for more information and get in touch with Semma to make a booking.
Kalmoesfontein might be best known as the home of our diverse range of wines and liquor, but over the last few years it has evolved to much more than that. So we just launched a new website focussing on the farm as a venue, location and accommodation getaway.
We’re SO ready to welcome guests back to our cottages and to host events and celebrations… While, right now, no one knows when that will be possible again, it doesn’t mean we can’t dream and plot and plan.
Have a look at the wide range of events we can host (from weddings, festivals and birthdays for all ages, to corporate team buildings and educational workshops) and get in touch so we can help you to brainstorm your next [insert unique idea here].
If getting away from the place where you’ve been locked down for months is what you are after – check out our self-catering accommodation options and make a booking to come explore the farm.
Maybe you need a location for a film or photo shoot… or just head over to have a look and let us know what you think.
Asseblief en dankie. Hope to see you soon!
