Le Bonheur dates back to the 1790’s. This 163-hectare estate with the optimistic name of Le Bonheur ("Happiness") is situated along the slopes of the Klapmuts Hill in the northern reaches of the Simonsberg Mountain, in the Stellenbosch Wine of Origin district. Klapmuts is the old Dutch word for the 18th century cocked hat that folded away into the saddle back pocket and, indeed, when observed from a distance, the hill resembles such a hat.

Hand sorting the grapes at Le Bonheur has remained our tradition. This is one of the reasons why Le Bonheur’s wines are so acclaimed both locally and internationally, and why they consistently receive prestigious awards in top wine competitions across the globe.

Here, winemaker Lauren Snyman and Vineyard Manager Jaco van der Berg, ensure that, like at the chateaus in France, grapes are still hand-picked and sorted, to create a hand-picked wine for the wine connoisseurs.
