Zorgvleit Wine Estate, Hellshoogte Road between Stellenbosch and Franschhoek- Zorgvleit is a simply outstanding wedding venue with a lot going for it. We like the fact that the wedding experience here can be quite multi-centred in that the ceremony can be in the beautiful chapel high up on the mountainside, canapés can be outside on the lawn and the reception takes place in an awesome function room. Zorgvleit can work with guest numbers anywhere between 40 and 120.The planning team here are top draw. As well as boasting an awesome reception room, Zorgvleit is great for a party with the bar located inside the function room, right near the dance floor. www.zorgvliet.co.za
