For over two centuries, the Taberer family has embodied the spirit of Avontuur—a name that echoes through the Helderberg hills as both a philosophy and a place. This year marks 201 years of Avontuur and 41 years of winemaking, a journey rooted in values, heritage, and a relentless pursuit of excellence.
More than a wine estate, Avontuur is a living narrative, etched into 110 hectares of ancient soils overlooking False Bay. Granite, shale, and sandstone form the vineyard’s foundation, shaped by sea winds and time itself. It’s terroir that speaks—of history, resilience, and a deep connection to the land.
At the helm is winemaker Dominique Modean, who transforms this geological poetry into wines of power, precision, and soul. His work gives voice to the estate’s distinctive contours—delivering wines that resonate with energy, elegance, and emotional depth.
The Collections include:
The Taberer: A flagship red of noble presence and finesse—crafted as a tribute to the family legacy.
The Avontuur Collection:
- West Peak Cabernet Sauvignon: Bold and structured
- Stone Field Syrah: Refined cool-climate complexity
- Disa Gorge Chardonnay: Vibrant with minerality and finesse
The Thoroughbred Collection pays homage to the champions of Avontuur’s paddocks:

From first swirl to final sip, Avontuur wines are a journey into the heart of the Helderberg. This is not just a vineyard. It’s a vantage point into the extraordinary.
