Our story

Built from bare land in 1984.

GlenWood was established in 1984 on 52 hectares in the Robertsvlei Valley, and built from scratch into a family estate. Chardonnay became our signature — and has earned numerous Platter five stars.

Today we farm alongside the fynbos of the Cape Floral Kingdom, as a WWF Conservation Champion and certified Carbon Hero.

Wonderful again. Sushi is marvellous, best Chardonnay, incredible views and I would give 10 stars for the great service.

…But boy, these sushi are absolutely outstanding. There are light years between these sushi and those you get in 99% of the other sushi restaurants.
