Weltevrede is a Family owned wine Estate in the Robertson Valley. Wine has been an integral part of the Jonker family tradition for four generations. It began when Klaas Jonker purchased the farm in 1912 and planted the first vineyards in the area. He was followed by Japie Jonker, who in 1933 began wine farming on Weltevrede. Today, the tradition is carried on by current owner Philip Jonker.

Philip joined his father, Louwrens Jonker, in 1997 as winemaker after qualifying at the University of Stellenbosch. He also gained valuable practical experience working at Clos du Val winery in the Napa Valley, California, as well as Chateau La Dominique in Saint Emilion, France.

Weltevrede has got a lot to offer our visitors. A tractor ride, wine tastings and accomodation is available as well as the restaurant and function venue.
One of the recent ventures was the launch of the Weltevrede Writers Studio on the Estate. This is for writers to come and be inspired with the beautiful surroundings and get insights from the 3000 + books available in the studio.

In all that we do here at Weltevrede, we want to inspire.

Winemaker: Louwrens Jonker
