The FarmThe thatched farm house was built around 1830 by the descendents of the French Huguenots and was extended at the turn of the century. Tim and Caroline Holdcroft have painstakingly restored the original Cape Dutch character with poplar beams and ceilings made from reeds harvested on the farm.
Kleinfontein produces small quantities of top quality wine with all grapes
benefitting from personal attention and being hand picked at the peak of
ripeness. Tim uses a professional wine maker to ensure quality in all
respects while the first wine to the market was a 2003 Cabernet Sauvignon.

Kleinfontein is a working farm cultivating vines, guavas and olives and has an organic vegetable garden irrigated by water from the crystal clear spring which gives the farm it's name "Small Spring". Caroline's indigenous bird friendly garden was opened recently for the Wellington Garden Festival and overseas visitors.
