ABOUT US

The Farm

Steeped in rich Joubert family values, 401 Rozendal Farm has a deep-rooted history that dates to 1912. Founded as a working farm by owner D.D. Joubert’s family, the land has witnessed a diverse evolution over the years.

In the late 1940s, D.D. Joubert’s grandmother farmed with sheep and milking cows, nurturing the fertile land with care and dedication. Over time, the farm expanded, with the grounds being used for tobacco cultivation and vineyards.

The ideal climate and rich soil have consistently produced abundant grape harvests, and today, 401 Rozendal is home to eight different cultivars, each thriving in the farm’s perfect environment. In addition to the vineyards, the owner expanded the farm’s offerings with a flourishing nartjie orchard, spanning 10 to 15 hectares, which dazzles with vibrant fruit during citrus harvesting season.

Each season brings a new chapter to the farm’s legacy, and the landscape continues to inspire both its owners and guests. The farm’s deep agricultural roots and timeless beauty now provide the perfect setting for celebrations and unforgettable weddings.

The Venue

What began as a working farm has been thoughtfully transformed into a stunning countryside venue in the Cape Winelands, where history and modern design beautifully intersect.

In 2009, renovations to the nearly 100-year-old farm shed unveiled its hidden potential. The original building, which now serves as the reception and dining hall as well as the chapel, retains its historic charm, with careful preservation of its architectural features. The newly attached structure seamlessly connects to the original, housing the bar, dance floor, and lounge area, designed with a modern touch to complement the historic core.

This thoughtful design bridges two distinct eras, honouring the farm’s rich history while creating a space that feels fresh, elegant, and inviting for today’s celebrations. The venue’s architecture pays tribute to the past while incorporating contemporary elements, resulting in an atmosphere that is both timeless and unique.

The connection between the old and new is further embodied in the five farm-style cottages and a four-bedroom breakaway house, each designed to complement the original building while offering guests a comfortable, modern retreat. The lush vineyards and sweeping mountain views enhance the venue’s tranquil, harmonious ambiance, providing the perfect setting for your celebration.
