The farmland was called Jakkalsvlei because of all the foxes, jackal’s and wild cats seen in the mountains surrounding the farmland. While hunting in the Southern Cape during this time, Nelis Jonker senior was inspired to buy this beautiful piece of land. Jantjie Jonker, Nelis’s grandson settled on the farm in 2006. In 2008 he bottled the first wine under the Jakkalsvlei label.

Today Jakkalsvlei Wines are enjoyed by people all over the Garden Route, including some fine restaurants. You can’t help but fall in love with the breathtaking views and the beautiful mountain range surrounding the farm.

Come explore this unique, off-the-beaten-track wine farm, which is half an hour away from Albertinia via a gravel road (best suited for 4×4 vehicles).

Jakkalsvlei offers you wine tasting sessions, wine sales, a restaurant and beautiful farm atmosphere with opportunities for groups to make memorable moments. The burgers of Jakkalsvlei is a must experience when visiting the restaurant.
