Newstead Lund Family Vineyards is a boutique wine estate nestled in the Plettenberg Bay Winelands, founded in 2006 by Doug and Sue Lund. Transitioning from sugar and dairy farming in KwaZulu-Natal, the Lunds embarked on a journey to craft exceptional wines in the Garden Route’s unique terroir.
Their estate, combining the lion and stag crests from both families, reflects a commitment to quality and heritage. The vineyards, planted with Sauvignon Blanc, Chardonnay, and Pinot Noir, benefit from a climate reminiscent of New Zealand’s wine regions. Meticulous care is given to each vine, utilizing organic fertilizers and recycled grey water. Innovative practices, such as netting over the vines, ensure the production of some of the most pristine grapes, which award-winning winemaker Anton Smal transforms into wines celebrated both locally and internationally.
Visitors to Newstead are welcomed into an authentic and intimate tasting room, where they can savor award-winning wines, including their renowned Cap Classique sparkling wines. The estate also offers a seasonal menu inspired by locally sourced ingredients, providing a delightful culinary experience. For those seeking a longer stay, Newstead provides self-catering accommodation amidst the vineyards, complete with modern amenities and charming touches.
Beyond wine tasting, Newstead serves as a sought-after venue for weddings and special events, offering bespoke planning and coordination to create memorable celebrations. With a rich blend of passion, heritage, and dedication to excellence, Newstead Lund Family Vineyards invites guests to experience the essence of the Plettenberg Bay Winelands.
