Historic Cellar and Vineyard Terrace

In 2007 we built the new Vineyard Terrace in front of the Historic Cellar. The Terrace is a 250sqm deck covered by a modern Tension Structure twin-top tent-like roof. Set right next to a Cabernet Sauvignon vineyard and with a large lawn area, the new Terrace has become the most desirable function venue in the Cape winelands. The views from the Terrace to the Simonsberg and Groot Drakenstein mountains, across seas of vines, are truly breathtaking.

The venue caters for up to 160 people seated or up to 250 people for cocktail functions. A see-through tent wall, with waterproof lining is available in case poor weather threatens your function. A 6.5m long bar counter is built in with under-counter fridges and serving area.

The lovely 220 year old Historic Cellar can accommodate up to 120 people with a dance floor. The historic cellar had once been used to house barrels of wine in the past and is now our most popular function space as it is perfect for all seasons. In the winter time, underfloor heating keeps guests comfortable and in the spring and summer the cellar naturally keeps cool. It may be a great place to party: have the music and lounge area inside and keep the conversation and festivities going on the Terrace!

The doors open onto the Terrace. Spectacular views of the Simonsberg and Groot Drakenstein mountains can be seen from this venue. The Historic Cellar is multi functional, able to accommodate the ceremony or reception with its unique horizontal structure.

There are a number of garden locations to chose from for a wedding ceremony, plus inside the Historic Cellar in the event of weather risk. Secure parking for nearly 100 vehicles is available right next to the venue.

The above rates are VAT Inclusive and includes the following:

• Accommodation in 11 luxury double rooms (includes 3 x cottages and a luxury Manor House)
• Full English Breakfast at the pool patio or at Cotage Fromage Restaurant and Deli
• The full use of our Historic Cellar & Vineyard Terrace and seating for up to 140 people
• Reception set-up of standard round tables, white plastic chairs, cutlery and crockery (excludes glassware)
• The venue is backed by a powerful generator to ensure that ESCOM problems do not derail your most important day! The cost of hiring such a generator for your big day would be about R10,000, but at Vrede en Lust it is part of the package at no extra cost! The generator also provides backup power for all the accommodation.
