ABOUT Landskroon
Landskroon was established in 1692 and is situated in the heart of the Cape Winelands of South Africa. The vineyard comprises approximately 275 hectares and is owned by the families of brothers Paul and Hugo de Villiers, direct descendants of the French Huguenots who settled in the Cape during the late 17th Century.
Landskroon is a winery that has been part of the Cape wine scene for longer than most current wine producers, occupies a privileged location on the slopes of Paarl Mountain, and has been in the de Villiers’ family for five generations.
