Ataraxia Wines, Hermanus, South Africa
Perched on the elevated Skyfields Farm in Hemel-en-Aarde Valley, Ataraxia Wines blends tranquility and terroirmanship. Its name—Greek for “a serene state of mind”—perfectly describes the meditative ambiance and refined wine experience here.
Founded in 2004 by Kevin and Hanli Grant along with friends, the estate spans 47 hectares of prime elevated, south-facing slopes enriched by ancient Table Mountain Sandstone, Cape Granite, and Bokkeveld Shale soils.
These geological signatures empower their standout elegant wines—most notably Chardonnay and Pinot Noir, with a focused stylistic expression tied closely to soil and site.
Tastings take place in their iconic chapel-like Wine Lounge®, which overlooks sweeping vineyards, mountain peaks, and valley vistas. The interior balances spiritual quiet with comfort, featuring artful décor and panoramic outlooks as visitors sample refined vintages such as unwooded Sauvignon Blanc, wooded Chardonnay, Pinot Noir, and their red blend “Serenity”.
