Named after the Afrikaans word for “tortoise” due to the many tortoises found on the property, Skilpadvlei is nestled in the heart of the Cape Winelands, offering panoramic views of the Stellenbosch mountains and vineyards. With over a century of winemaking tradition, the farm has grown to encompass not only wine production but also a range of hospitality offerings, including a restaurant, guest accommodation, and event facilities.
