Blake Family Wines: Boutique Wines Inspired by the Cape West Coast

Just a short drive from Cape Town, in the picturesque seaside town of Yzerfontein along the Cape West Coast, you'll find Blake Family Wines, a boutique winery where passion, craftsmanship and a love for exceptional wine come together.

Owned by Andries and Marinda Blake, the winery has earned a reputation for producing premium wines in limited quantities, allowing every bottle to receive the attention and care it deserves. Whether you're discovering the elegance of their flagship wines or relaxing over lunch with ocean air in the distance, Blake Family Wines offers an unforgettable West Coast wine experience.

Crafted with Passion, Bottled with Purpose

At Blake Family Wines, quality is never compromised.

Every wine is carefully nurtured from vineyard to bottle, reflecting the family's commitment to producing wines that truly express the unique character of the Swartland terroir. The region's warm climate and renowned bush vines provide the perfect conditions for creating wines with depth, complexity and exceptional fruit expression.

Rather than producing wine in large volumes, the Blake family focuses on crafting premium boutique wines that showcase personality, elegance and a genuine sense of place.

Two Distinctive Wine Collections

Blake Family Wines offers two beautifully curated wine ranges.

Blake's Collection

The premium Blake's range represents the pinnacle of the winery's craftsmanship.

Among the collection are the estate's flagship blends, Amethyst and Tourmaline, named after semi-precious gemstones. Just like the stones that inspired them, these wines are rare, distinctive and carefully crafted to reveal layers of complexity and character with every sip.

For red wine lovers, the Single Vineyard Malbec has become a standout favourite, especially during the cooler months. Rich, smooth and beautifully structured, it's the perfect companion for slow-cooked meals, fireplaces and good company.

The 16 Mile Beach Collection

Inspired by the breathtaking coastline on their doorstep, the 16 Mile Beach range celebrates the relaxed lifestyle of the Cape West Coast.

Named after 16 Mile Beach, the longest uninterrupted stretch of beach in South Africa -the collection captures everything locals and visitors love about Yzerfontein: fresh sea air, endless horizons and uncomplicated enjoyment.

These wines are approachable, vibrant and perfect for sharing, whether you're enjoying seafood by the ocean or a relaxed afternoon with friends.

Don't Miss the Rooipan Rosé Promotion

There's even more reason to visit this season.

Until the end of July 2026, Blake Family Wines is offering an exclusive promotion on one of their most popular wines:

Buy 10 bottles of Rooipan Rosé and receive 12 bottles.

Made from Pinotage, this beautifully refreshing rosé is bursting with vibrant fruit flavours and is the ideal wine for sunny afternoons, picnics or entertaining family and friends.

The estate features:
