Janéza Private Cellar is near Bonnievale overlooking the Breede River Valley. Flanked by the Langeberg Mountain Range in the north-east, and the Riviersonderend mountains in the south-west, Bonnievale is one of the most beautifully situated towns in the Western Cape. The town is approximately 180 km from Cape Town and 100 km from the southernmost tip of Africa at Cape Agulhas. Known as the valley of wine and cheese, the Robertson Wine Route, which includes all the wine cellars in the Bonnievale area, has in recent years won great acclaim in South Africa and around the world, for the production of outstanding wines.

Family history runs deep in this 18 hectare vineyard just outside Bonnievale, which Jan’s father purchased in 1973. The Janéza Wines are made in an old building dating back to the 1930’s which in earlier years served as stables and ox pens. Jan and Eza restored the building and equipped it as a small wine cellar. The wine is made according to traditional methods thus given as much personal attention as possible. The grapes are grown only on the best chosen terroir.

Wines are made from various grapes – Sauvignon Blanc, Chardonnay, Cabernet Sauvignon, Shiraz, Merlot and Petit Verdot.

The name Janeza is a blend of their names, Jan and Eza who both grew up in this beautiful wine valley. Come and enjoy the rustic atmosphere, great wines, passion and dedication.

Two of the stables have been restored as a cobblestoned tasting room which is open on appointment from:

Mon – Fr 09h00 – 17h00
Sat 09h00 – 13h00

Cheeseplatters, picnic and small functions on prior arrangement
