La Bri Wine Estate, La Bri Wine Estate, Excelsior Road, Franschhoek, South Africa
La Bri Wine Estate is a gracefully nestled gem in the heart of the Franschhoek Valley, its name likely derived from the French word for “refuge.” It stands as one of the oldest Huguenot-allocated farms dating back to 1688, surrounded by the valley’s amphitheater of rugged peaks.
The Tasting Experience
Step into an intimate tasting experience at La Bri’s elegant cellar door. A modern take on tradition, tastings include a standard four-wine flight (Estate or Double Door selection) for R80, and a limited-release tasting for R250—making it a fine choice for both casual sippers and serious collectors. Guests can also enjoy complimentary cheese and biltong platters alongside their wine.
Wine & Pairings
La Bri prides itself on “signature-styled wines created with passion.” Guests have raved about their unwooded Chardonnay, delightful chocolate and Turkish delight wine pairings, and generous cheese platters.The estate’s wines are not only local favorites but also available through international distribution networks spanning the U.S., U.K., Europe, Hong Kong, and beyond.
Ambience & Hospitality
Savor wines overlooking vineyards framed by majestic mountains—an evocative backdrop that many visitors describe as serene and inviting.Reviews highlight the staff's fitting expertise (“friendly, knowledgeable”) and the welcoming, relaxed atmosphere.
Practical Information
La Bri welcomes guests for tasting from Monday to Saturday (10:00–17:00) and Sunday (10:00–16:00). Make a note: bookings are advised, especially during weekends and peak seasons.
Why La Bri Stands Out
- Heritage & Location: A Huguenot legacy set within breathtaking valley scenery.
- Focused Tastings: A thoughtful range of estate and limited-release wines—presented simply, artfully.
- Personal Touch: Warm service, beautiful views, and curated pairings that celebrate rather than mask the wines.
- Global Reach: A small estate with broad distribution, reflecting both quality and authenticity.
