About Saxonburg Wine Estate
The estate has a history dating back to 1693. Governor Simon Van Der Stel granted the land to Joachim Sax who was from Sweden. In 1705 the farm was bought by Swedes, Oloff and Albertus Bergh. The name Saxenburg developed from these early pioneers.
In 1989, the Bührer family, a Swiss-German couple, purchased the Saxenburg wine farm. Besides the vineyards, they developed wildlife sanctuary at the front section of the est in 1998, which made Saxenburg the first wine farm in Stellenbosch to stock wildlife.
In 2015 the two siblings of the second Bührer generation, Vincent and Fiona, took over the reigns of the Estate. Follow on Facebook and Instagram.
