Wines with Altitude

Welcome to the website of Cederberg Private Cellar. Here, on the farm Dwarsrivier, our winemaker David Nieuwoudt leads a ‘team with attitude’ to produce award-winning wines from our high-altitude vineyards. The secret behind our ‘wines with altitude’? A unique terroir and a pure, virus-free environment.

360-degree views, spectacular rock formations, crystal-clear rivers, a breathtaking night sky … visitors will find much to enjoy as they stay over at Sanddrif Holiday Resort, hike or cycle on the well-marked trails, or relax with a Boggom & Voertsek from the Cederberg Brewery.

Our responsible approach

We care about people and we care about the environment. But most of all, we care about how responsibly we, as people, interact with the pristine Cederberg Wilderness around us.
