Le Roux & Fourie Vignerons
Le Roux & Fourie Vignerons is a wine farm in Robertson, Western Cape. About 123 km from Cape Town.
Le Roux & Fourie Vignerons: Buitenstekloof boutique on the R60
Le Roux & Fourie Vignerons is a family-owned boutique estate on Buitenstekloof farm (est. circa 1823), nestled at the foot of the Langeberg mountains off the R60 toward Robertson. Brothers Johan and Le Roux Fourie frame the brand around French Huguenot ancestry (Louis Fourie, Pontaix Dauphiné, fleeing persecution in 1685 and cultivating in Wellington from 1689). The modern visitor product is clear on the official site: Taste, Enjoy, and Stay—tasting room, on-site bistro, and off-grid mountain cottages—without a published rand tasting fee.
Taste: published tasting-room hours
Homepage and Contact agree on tasting hours:
- Monday–Friday: 09:00–17:00
- Saturday: 09:00–16:00
Prefer these leroux-fourie.com hours over older directory copy that may list a wine-shop Mon–Fri-only window or a Saturday close at 15:00. No tasting fee is published on the official Taste section—do not invent one. Contact the estate for group size, MCC/dessert flights, or Reserve pours.
Physical address (Contact): Le Roux & Fourie Vignerons, Buitenstekloof, R60 Robertson. Directions from Paarl: N1 to Worcester, R60/62 toward Robertson, ~30 km to the Agter-Vinkrivier turn-off on the left for the wine shop.
Phones on Contact (prefer over older landline seed): +27 (0)82 468 1151 or +27 (0)82 493 8897. Email: info@leroux-fourie.com.
Enjoy: Eats at Pathway 29:11 Bistro
On-estate dining is Eats at Pathway 29:11 Bistro—official hours Wednesday–Sunday 09:00–16:00; Monday & Tuesday closed. Robertson Tourism lists the bistro on the R60 at Le Roux & Fourie with seasonal, locally sourced menus, pet-friendly stop, and small celebrations; tourism contact eats@pathway29-11.co.za / 072 966 1961 is useful for table queries but is separate from the winery info@ line. Do not invent platter or main-course prices.
Stay: Buitenstekloof Mountain Cottages
Sustainability/About pages invite guests into Buitenstekloof Mountain Cottages—a serene off-grid retreat in the landscape. Book via the estate (info@ or phone); do not invent cottage tariffs or occupancy from third-party listings unless confirmed by the farm.
Wines, cellar, and sustainability (official framing)
Portfolio navigation covers Emerging, Premium, Reserve, and MCC & Dessert wines plus promotions—shop online on the same domain. About stresses free limestone / fynbos terroir, multiple selective harvests within a block (three to four pickings), Reserve maturation in medium-toast French oak, and a distinctive straw-bale cellar described as the tallest of its type in the Southern Hemisphere—thermal mass for fermentation/maturation, straw reused as vineyard mulch, lower energy use.
Sustainability: labour-intensive boutique farming; support for the Vinkrivier Ladies Fellowship with 10% of proceeds from Lady of Hope Chardonnay; membership of the Rooiberg Conservancy with a large share of farmland dedicated to natural habitat; support for the Landmark Foundation’s leopard/predator work. Rare leopard sightings are mentioned as underscoring sanctuary character—treat as storytelling, not a guaranteed wildlife product.
Planning a visit
Buitenstekloof suits travellers who want a boutique R60 stop with optional lunch at Pathway 29:11 and a possible overnight in the mountain cottages. Confirm Saturday tasting close and bistro open days before you leave Worcester. Large coaches are not claimed as a specialty—phone ahead for groups. Do not invent awards lists beyond what you verify on their Award Winning collection page at visit time.

Extra itinerary tips for the R60 corridor
Travellers looping Worcester–Robertson often under-allocate time for boutique stops. At Le Roux & Fourie, build a buffer for the Agter-Vinkrivier turn-off, a full Taste flight (including any MCC or dessert pours available that day), and—if Wednesday through Sunday—a sit-down at Pathway 29:11 before continuing toward town. If the mountain cottages are part of your trip, confirm check-in logistics and off-grid expectations (power, water, access roads) when you email info@leroux-fourie.com. Keep award claims tied to bottles you can verify in the shop rather than generic “award-winning” language without labels in hand.
