THE HOME OF PULPIT ROCK WINERY
Back in the mid-sixteen hundreds, after an extremely long and tiring trek from the Cape of Good Hope, Pieter Cruythoff and his party stood atop the Bothmanskloof pass and surveyed for the first time, a valley of rich wonderment and beauty. Many followed in the years to come; to settle, to farm, to live and laugh - to soak in the glorious views and introduce added quality into their lives. One such early farming family was the Brinks, now owners of the latest addition to the Riebeek Valley's acclaimed wineries, Pulpit Rock.
The state-of-the-art cellars of Pulpit Rock are situated on the foothills of the Kasteelberg Mountain - the "pulpit" being a well-known piece of the craggy background of these lands. There are two vast barrel maturation cellars including a 6,000-ton overall production capacity.
02
OUR CELLAR
This state of the art cellar has an overall production capacity of 5000 tons, with two-barrel maturing cellars. The grapes are chosen meticulously and harvested full ripe to achieve optimum quality, including good structure and prominent fruit. A combination of the latest equipment and traditional techniques are used to create world-class wines.

OUR WINES
We offer 3 ranges of wines: Stories, Brink Family Vineyards & Louisa

HIKING TRAIL
We have newly opened our hiking trail. The trail is about 2km till the top. Then another 2km down where you can come and enjoy a nice cold glass of wine and something to snack on in the Wine and Snack Bar. The elevation of the trail starts at about 248m above sea level and ends at about 850m above sea level. The trail is marked out with some quirky names to keep you motivated to make it to the top. If you would like to come and enjoy the trail you can come and sign in the register (Monday-Friday 09:00-16:00). If you would like to hike other times than that please call the office for further information.

Very good and friendly people. The marketing manager took us on a cellar tour and let us taste from the tanks. He really went the extra mile for my overseas visitors group.
