When in Riebeek Kasteel, visit the home of award winning wines and olives at Het Vlock Casteel and take part in wine tasting, olive oil tasting and fruit tours. Other produce available are award winning olives, olive oil, chutneys, delicious fruity jams, preserves, Shiraz wine vinegar. Peaches, grapes and citrus fruits are for sale during the season.
Tours are available throughout the year but booking is essential so please plan ahead. Wine: In 2005 Het Vlock Casteel began to produce a range of their own wines. They do a Merlot, Shiraz, Cabernet Sauvignon and a Sauvignon Blanc. Olives: On the farm they grow three cultivars of table olives, two black variants, Calamata and Mission and one green variant, Nocellara. It is important that olives are planted in sandy soil which drains easily as this provides the best growing environment. Olive Oil: Het Vlock Casteel was one of the first South African producers to release single varietal olive oils such as Mission, Frantoio, Leccino and Coratina. Each displays unique characteristics with regard to flavour, fruitiness and intensity. Opening Times Mon – Fri: 09:00 - 17:00 Sat: 09:00 - 14:00 Public holidays: 09h00 - 14h00 Closed on Sundays, Good Friday & Christmas day Info: Het Vlock Casteel Site |
