⁕ Avondale Wine Estate (Paarl) Open Gardens 2026

Open: Saturday 24 – Sunday 25 October 2026

Avondale Wine Estate’s open gardens give visitors the unique opportunity to experience seven beautiful spring organic gardens on the estate.

The different gardens on view are the Avondale Wine Estates cellar gardens, the majestic private gardens of Ginny Grieve; Suzanne Grieve, Ruth Robertson and Julie Warren Codrington; experience Avondale’s historic Cape Dutch buildings; view many mature trees; walk through the two working vegetable gardens that supply Avondale’s award-winning restaurant, FABER; stroll over the meandering streams; experience the indigenous beds, rose gardens and meadow; and watch the herd of Angus cows, working ducks and chickens in their free range environment.

This year, we have opened up a meandor through our wild garden.

Finish your walk with a tasting of the organic and biodynamic wines at the Avondale Wine Cellar or book a meal at our highly acclaimed FABER restaurant.

Visitors are welcome to stroll around the Avondale Wine Estate’s farm gardens from 9h30-16h00 on the 24th & 25th October 2026.
