CAPAIA WINE ESTATE

Acquire More Than a Wine Estate, Own a Legacy

Nestled amongst the rolling vineyards and protected Renosterveld landscapes of the Philadelphia Wine Region, just 35 kilometres from Cape Town, CAPAIA Wine Estate presents an exceptional opportunity to acquire one of South Africa’s most distinguished boutique wine estates.

Offered as a fully operational Going Concern, this remarkable estate extends across approximately 127.99 hectares, combining award-winning wine production, premium hospitality, agricultural excellence and lifestyle living within one of the Western Cape’s most sought-after wine regions.

CAPAIA is far more than an exceptional wine estate—it is an established destination, an internationally recognised wine brand and a business built on decades of passion, craftsmanship and innovation.

A Fully Integrated Wine Estate

The estate is centred around a thriving viticultural enterprise, with approximately 50.67 hectares of established vineyards producing internationally recognised cultivars including Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot, Shiraz, Sauvignon Blanc, Cabernet Franc and Petit Verdot.

An additional 2.69 hectares of olive orchards further diversify the agricultural operation, while the estate’s elevated north-facing slopes, slate, schist and clay soils, together with the Mediterranean climate, create an exceptional terroir synonymous with premium wine production.

Designed as a fully integrated operation, CAPAIA seamlessly combines vineyard management, winemaking, hospitality and tourism into a mature business with multiple complementary revenue streams.

An Estate Crafted for Excellence

At the heart of the estate lies a modern winery and production facility designed to support every stage of the winemaking process—from grape reception and fermentation through maturation, bottling and distribution.

The cellar incorporates advanced production infrastructure, extensive storage facilities and one of South Africa’s largest privately owned wood-based fermentation installations, providing both operational efficiency and exceptional winemaking capability.

Supporting facilities include bottling and labelling equipment, barrel maturation areas, warehousing, administration offices, visitor reception facilities and accommodation.

Hospitality Meets the Cape Winelands

CAPAIA has become a celebrated destination for wine enthusiasts, visitors and outdoor adventurers alike.

Mariella’s Restaurant offers refined Cape Winelands dining in an elegant Cape Vernacular setting, with indoor and outdoor seating overlooking the vineyards and surrounding countryside.

Complementing the restaurant is the popular Olivia Deli & Agri Store, serving estate visitors, cyclists, hikers and the local community while enhancing the estate’s year-round visitor experience.

A Lifestyle Destination

Beyond wine production, CAPAIA has established itself as a destination where nature, recreation and hospitality converge.

The estate features an extensive network of scenic mountain biking and trail running routes winding through vineyards, indigenous vegetation and breathtaking landscapes, attracting outdoor enthusiasts from across the Western Cape.
