Allee Bleue

Intersection R45 & R310
Groot Drakenstein

Allée Bleue Estate is situated in Groot Drakenstein, in the heart of the Western Cape winegrowing region. Close to Franschhoek, the picturesque Estate owes its name to the giant, ‘blue’ eucalyptus trees which line the entrance to the farm. Elke and Wilfried Dauphin acquired what is now known as Allée Bleue Estate in 1999. The farm was established in 1690 and is one of the oldest and most cherished properties in the Cape. Over the past decade, the Dauphin’s have invested significantly in the farm including the re-introduction of wine making which had not been in practice for the past 150 years and also placed a focus on hospitality; making Allée Bleue a sought-after destination amongst South Africans and international visitors to the Cape.
Allée Bleue’s gardens – shady oak trees and vast lawns edged with lavender walks and masses of white roses - play host to picnics, concerts, and wedding celebrations.
