Le Bonheur

Stellenbosch

Nestled between the magnificent Simonsberg Mountains and Klapmuts Hill, Le Bonheur is the gateway to South Africa’s most renowned wine producing region Stellenbosch.

With a history dating back to the 1700’s, Le Bonheur Wine Estate epitomises the rich heritage of Stellenbosch. Historically “Le Bonheur” was a resting place for travellers and traders, offering lush green surroundings and natural spring waters.  The original owners of this scenic farm, the French Huguenot De Villiers family, fittingly named it “Le Bonheur”, meaning “happiness”.  Today the Estate retains its sense of place, timeless setting, and rich heritage.
