The excellence of Allesverloren wine is rooted in a love of the land and its vineyards. Few families have served as its custodian and been fortunate to pass intimate knowledge from generation to generation. Early records are unclear, so Allesverloren’s history dates to between 1696 and 1704, when the governor of the Cape bequeathed it to a widow, Cloete. This courageous woman was among the first settles to venture into the inhospitable region now famous as the Swartland. These early people had limited means, with only the most rudimentary agricultural equipment and necessities to support themselves.

Café Felix is an exciting restaurant in the picturesque Riebeek Valley. The original food concept was based on the popular Olympia Café & Deli in Kalkbay, which involves a blackboard menu that changes continuously depending on the type of fresh produce that is available. The menu has evolved slowly over time and today the cuisine at Café Felix can be described as sumptuous French-Italian inspired country cuisine.
