Marais Family Wines
Overview
The Marais family trace their roots centuries back to the marshy region called Le Marais, which is now the hip suburb of restaurants and upscale museums in Paris, France. They came to the Cape of Good Hope like the Huguenots generations before and settled in the Slanghoek Valley in the middle of the Cape Winelands in 1847. The Marais’s eventually emerged as landowners on Breëland farm, which expanded from livestock to cash crops and fruit groves. The Apple House remains as a legacy of the cider they made with their main produce.
