Jakkalsvlei, directly translated as Jackal's Marsh, is a family owned winery nestled in the beautiful, world famous Garden Route. The Jonker family has been proud owners of Jakkalsvlei since 1972, and today it is farmed by the 3rd generation Jonkers on the farm. The farmland was called Jakkalsvlei because of all the foxes, jackal's and wild cats seen in the mountains surrounding the farmland. Whil

e hunting in the Southern Cape during this time, Nelis Jonker senior was inspired to buy this beautiful piece of land. In 2008 he bottled the first wine under the Jakkalsvlei label. Today Jakkalsvlei wines are enjoyed by people all over the Garden Route, including some fine restaurants. You can't help but fall in love with the breathtaking views and the beautiful mountain range surrounding the farm. Come explore this unique, off the beaten track wine farm in the Garden Route and experience true Southern Cape hospitality. Please note: We are unfortunately not pet friendly, with exceptions for guide dogs, arranged per booking.

Welcome back to Part 2 of our series.

Some people work at a wine farm. Others become part of it. This is Louis van der Riet. Head Winemaker. Cellar Master. The man behind Jakkalsvlei's award-winning wines.

Louis doesn't make wine for applause, he makes it because this valley, these vines and this craft deserve nothing less than exceptional. The proof is in the glass.

Follow along for more on our winemakers and what happens behind the scenes to make your Jakkalsvlei favourites.

The wait is finally over!

We’re excited to share that Jakkalsvlei will be reopening a day earlier than planned and will welcome guests back from 12 June 2026.

After some unexpected time away, we can’t wait to see familiar faces around the tables, hear the laughter return to the tasting room, and share a glass of your favourite Jakkalsvlei wine with you once again.

With the public holiday and school holidays around the corner, it’s the perfect excuse to escape to the countryside and make the most of a long weekend with family and friends.

Reservations are expected to fill up quickly, so be sure to book your table soon. We look forward to welcoming you back! 🍷
