If you are looking to savour internationally acclaimed wines, where history, tradition, nature’s bounty and the delicate craft of winemaking all come together, there is no better option than D’Aria.
Hidden in this luscious valley, Durbanville, lies plenty of Durbanville wine farms, one of which is D’Aria. At D’Aria, each of our guests can expect to experience a complete harmony of the senses. As a wine ward, Durbanville is also identified as part of the Wine of Origin Cape Town region, and thus D’Aria is recognised as a premium brand.
D’Aria’s world class and contemporary winemaking excellence, under the guidance of master winemaker Rudi von Waltsleben, is rooted in years of experience and we aim to bring this rich history to our guests by letting them experience first-hand what our estate is all about.
