About
Located along the scenic Polkadraai Road just outside Stellenbosch, Skilpadvlei is a historic family-owned wine estate rooted in tradition and a deep connection to the land. The Joubert family has farmed this land since 1917, with four generations dedicated to producing wines that reflect the character of the Polkadraai Hills. Skilpadvlei believes in crafting wines that balance heritage with approachability. Each wine is made with careful attention to site, allowing the fruit to express the warm sunshine, cooling ocean breezes and unique soils of the region. Today the estate is both a working wine farm and a welcoming destination, where visitors gather for tastings, long lunches and celebrations. The wines embody the spirit of Stellenbosch - authentic, generous and grounded in a proud farming legacy.
