This family-run winery is a leader in environmental care and innovation. In 2006, Backsberg became the first winery in South Africa, and the third in the world, to become carbon neutral.
Backsberg continues to embrace sustainability. From bottling some of their wines in PET plastic bottles and installing a biomass furnace to manage refrigeration (cooling from heat) to largescale tree planting, Backsberg has also set itself the ambitious goal of generating all its own fuel and electricity from renewable sources. Its aim is to go off the grid and be energy independent.
Restaurant and wine tasting available with no reservation required.
