Mischa Estate is nestled in the valley of Wellington below Groenberg Mountain. Mischa Estate is a 3rd generation family-run farm that was bought just after the Second World War by the winemaker, Andrew Barns’, grandfather. He chose the farm because of its view of Table Mountain. The farm was named after his grandmother’s dance partner, Mikael, in the Russian ballet company, Ballet Russe. Mischa (Nickname for Mikael in Russian) soon became the 3rd largest vine nursery in the southern hemisphere.
After three generations of wine grape production and grafting, Andrew and his family decided to use their extensive viticultural knowledge to start producing Mischa wines. They created a boutique winery with limited production of only the highest quality, unique wines. Now, 9 years later, they are recognized as one of the top 10 wine farms in South Africa. Their brands, “Mischa” and “Eventide” have received numerous gold or double-gold awards and top marks from both Robert Parker and John Platter.
Today, Mischa offers beautiful accommodation, a perfect setting for weddings or events and a tasting experience that won’t be matched in the Western Cape. Please come see us because we’re excited to have you!
