The West Coast Wine Route in the Namaqua region of the Cape West Coast (Weskus) is the perfect destination only 3 hours from Cape Town. Stretching along South Africa’s rugged coastline, it takes you from family-run boutique vineyards to some of the country’s most renowned wineries.
Bellpost Wines
Nestled between Vredendal and Lutzville, Bellpost Wines is a family-run vineyard where a small portion of grapes is hand-selected to produce exclusive wines under the Bellpost label. The Thiart family offers five boutique wines, each reflecting care, passion, and the unique terroir of the West Coast.
