The farm is situated on the east-facing slopes of Paarl Mountain, providing a cooler climate as well as spectacular views of the Berg River Valley and surrounding areas.
Originally settled by a blacksmith, Johann Jost Gunterlock, in 1747, it has been run as a working farm since shortly after this, being bought by Gideon Jacobus Retief in 1873. Today, a fifth generation of Retiefs still live on the farm, producing two ranges of wine – Retief and Stubborn Man – under the Pearl Mountain label.
The Venue @ Pearl Mountain builds on this proud heritage. With striking views, delicious food and warm atmosphere, The Venue can comfortably cater for up to 120 dinner guests (with a dance floor). All catering is done in-house by the famous Blacksmith’s Kitchen team and packages include a variety of menu options. The Venue @ Pearl Mountain is the perfect location for a conference, function or dream wedding.
The farm productes two ranges of wine- Retief and Stubborn Man – under the Pearl Mountain label. Pearl Mountain wines are inspired by dedication of five generations of Retiefs to this unique tract of terrior.
All the grapes are grown on the farm and are source from single block vineyards on the cool, east facing slopes of the Pearl Mountain.
