Brookdale Estate 

Brookdale Estate is as unexpected as she is enchanting. Hugged by the tranquil valley and surrounded by natural beauty, Brookdale Estate offers some of the region’s most innovative wine creations. This sprawling country estate, crowned by a Manor House which overlooks manicured indigenous gardens, wild fynbos, dipping valleys and towering hills, serves as a unique, working wine farm where imagination meets skill.

A true Cinderalla story, the estate was once overgrown and underused. The Rudd family saw its enormous potential and acquired the property with a clear vision in mind – to create a world-class country estate that produces fine and interesting wine blends using unusual varieties in a South African context. Before vines could be planted, alien vegetation had to be cleared, and the balance of nature restored. The Rudd family successfully cleared the 80 hectares of land, salvaging a block of Chenin Blanc that would become its maiden release and planted the remaining 53 hectares with indigenous vegetation and gardens for guests of the Manor House to explore. The property is also home to a Cellar, Tasting Room and Bistro.

Brookdale Estate is a truly beautiful wedding venue with a relaxed yet elegant feel. The setting is stunning, with rolling lawns and charming spaces that lend themselves perfectly to both ceremonies and celebrations. It feels like a place where every moment can be enjoyed, from heartfelt vows to the final dance! With a team that’s professional, attentive and make the whole experience feel smooth and well-organised. A lovely choice for couples looking for a memorable and stylish wedding celebration! – Alicia Nel

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Ons het my verjaarsdag die naweek by Eenzaamheid gehou. Dit is ‘n lieflike venue wat die kinders en grootmense ewe veel geniet het! Yolanda het absoluut alles gedoen en gereël – ek moes net opdaag. Sy het soveel moeite gemaak en die fyner detail het dit regtig spesiaal gemaak. Die kinders het hulself moeg gespeel op die plaas en daar was ‘n paar trane toe dit huis toe gaan tyd raak! Ek sal Yolanda en haar venue 100% aanbeveel vir enige funksie! – Anlin du Bois

The Old Chapel is a small wine cellar dating from the 1700’s which has been tastefully transformed into an intimate chapel for wedding ceremonies. The Old Chapel can also be transformed into a cosy, more intimate space to hold your reception and dance party for boutique weddings.

From the moment you check in before your wedding to the morning after, you are treated like royalty. Thank you for making our wildest dreams come true, Diamant! – Nicola and Bryan
