Donkiesbaai has never been tied to a single address. Free-spirited by nature and guided by wanderlust, our wines are crafted at the Guardian Peak Cellar in Stellenbosch and poured wherever good taste and gracious hospitality meet. Enjoy a tasting at Guardian Peak, or seek us out at select venues within The Stellenbosch Collection. Wherever you find Donkiesbaai, you may just discover your new favourite place to linger.

Guardian Peak, named for the towering Stellenbosch Mountain peak, is where Donkiesbaai wines are crafted. Here, the philosophy of “live with wine” comes to life—whether at the table, in the Tasting Room, or at home. The full range of Donkiesbaai wines is available to taste and purchase, perfectly paired with fresh, flavourful food from the Grill. It’s a place to gather with friends, savour great wine, and enjoy the spirit of Stellenbosch hospitality.

Rust en Vrede, the birthplace of Donkiesbaai, invites you to savour wines shaped by family heritage and Stellenbosch terroir.

Stellenbosch Reserve sits on the lower slopes of the Helderberg, where vineyards roll toward the mountains and False Bay glimmers in the distance.

Donkiesbaai wines are available to taste, by the glass or bottle, or to take home, making the Reserve a place to enjoy good wine, great food, and a true sense of Stellenbosch.
