OUR STORY
As one of Walker Bay's most prominent wine and lifestyle estates, Benguela Cove is the epitome of luxury living. The lush farmland was developed to create a vineyard, state of the art winery, lifestyle estate and olive groves in 2003.
Benguela Cove is part of the Benguela Collection of properties, owned and operated by Zimbabwean born, British/South African Entrepreneur Penny Streeter OBE and her family. Benguela Cove is the jewel in the crown of the collection. This unique maritime Walker Bay farm boasts one of the closest vineyards to the sea and the fresh Atlantic Ocean breezes help to produce exceptional fruits which our award-winning winemaker Johann Fourie and his team turn into fine estate wines. Benguela Cove is the largest producer in Walker Bay.
