Tucked between the majestic Swartberg and Kammanasie mountain ranges lies the charming village of De Rust, the gateway to the Klein Karoo’s hidden gems. With its spectacular landscapes, it’s the perfect starting point for your journey into the heart of the region. At the core of this enchanting region is Doornkraal, a historic farm nestled at the foothills of the Swartberge. For generations, the Le Roux family has been crafting wines here since the late 1800s, alongside cultivating lucerne, vegetable seeds, and pastures for sheep, cattle, and horses. Today, Doornkraal continues to thrive as a working farm, but also offers visitors a unique taste of Klein Karoo hospitality. Known for its legendary gatherings, guests are drawn to Doornkraal not only for its delightful meals and fine wines but also for the lively stories shared around the family’s beloved yellowwood dining table.
