Rich in Olde Cape history, the Winelands region is a melting pot of fine cuisine, superb wines and spectacular scenery. You will find some of South Africa's oldest and most famous wine estates with their Grande Olde Cape Dutch farmhouses standing guard over the vines as they have for hundreds of years.

Backsberg lies on the slopes of the Simonsberg Mountains, equidistant from Paarl; Stellenbosch and Franschhoek in the heart of the Cape winelands; steeped in family history and Old Cape Heritage.  Easily accessible from the N1 just 40 minutes drive from Capetown  CBD and 20 minutes from the Airport.

Our main conference venue is very versatile in that we are able to accommodate small or large groups as the venue can be divided into smaller areas by our custom made sliding panels. Every section is accessible from the reception courtyard and has doors with windows, which provide natural light and access to the verandah overlooking the estate. There is easy access for vehicles and other large pieces of equipment making it well suited for corporate launches and exhibitions.  We have another two venues for smaller groups or break away venue.
