Solms Delta Winery is Dedicated to Preserving its Rich Heritage
The 320-year-old Solms-Delta Wine Estate, located in the heart of the Western Cape Province, is a unique Franschhoek wine farm dedicated to preserving its rich heritage and giving back to South African communities.
This veritable wine farm in the Franschhoek Valley, bordered by the picturesque Groot Drakenstein Mountains, has seen difficult and tumultuous times in its past. The farm was originally established by slave labor and many of their descendants still live there. The historic events and what has happened on the estate throughout the years has played a major role in its revitalization process. Professor Mark Solms, a highly regarded neuroscientist, returned to his South African roots and bought the farm in 2001. He then began the process of revitalizing the historic wine estate.
A museum was established and chronicles the history of the land and events that have taken place so that visitors will have a true understanding of Solms-Delta’s roots.
