The farm history dates back to 1723 and as if that's not enough, if pomegranates are the fruit of the gods - this must certainly be an earthly offering of heaven. Exporting more than 850 tonnes a year, a safari-style farm drive around the 625 hectares of seemingly ever-stretched views proudly boasts some of SA's most fertile lands. When Jan Harmsgat is not perfecting its wine offering, they're harvesting and exporting pomegranate, making pomegranate honey for a demand they can't keep up with, and are dealing out liters of the 100% natural pomegranate juice, that the world of health is lapping up for its incredible antioxidant properties.

Only two-hours drive from Cape Town, Jan Harmsgat Country Estate, is perfectly equipped for weddings and functions of all sizes. For intimate weddings, the main dining venue can host up to 50 seated guests, while the sprawling lawns can accommodate larger groups for an outdoor wedding. With a beautiful backdrop of pecan and olive trees, you and your guests will be transported back to an era where open space, country charm and comfort reign supreme.
