Waverley Hills is entirely committed to biodynamic viticulture. The winery is located between Tulbagh and Ceres, very close to the small town of Wolseley.
In 2000 the founding family Du Toit started growing the first vines. Today the farm covers around 140 hectares. A little more than 130 hectares of this are vines and around 10 hectares are used for growing olives. The vineyards lie on the slopes of the breathtaking Witzenberg Mountains, which are characterized by fertile, yellow clay soils interspersed with river stones. This leads to well-drained soils with excellent water storage capacity. The area is known for its diverse indigenous fynbos, which give the wines a unique herbaceous quality.
The family works with white ducks who ensure that the snails are kept to a minimum. No synthetic fertilizers, pesticides or herbicides are used. The winery was recognized, among other things, by being awarded the WWF Conservation Champion Title. Waverley Hills was the first organic winery in South Africa to receive this award, which honors the commitment to environmental protection, energy efficiency and climate adaptation.
