About Zevenwacht
The name Zevenwacht exemplifies the abundant delights which await visitors to the Farm such as the panoramic views of Table Mountain, Table Bay and False Bay.
The name “Zevenwacht”, derived from the Dutch “Seven Expectations” is a modern wine farm with a 300 year history.
Zevenwacht is a family owned and managed Estate. Harold and Denise Johnson purchased the farm in 1992, and are committed to a programme of development to realise Zevenwacht’s rich potential beyond wine production. There is a strong commitment to historic and cultural preservation, as well as the active socio-economic upliftment of the Zevenwacht workers and their families.
