Solms Delta Wine Estate

Fyndraai Restaurant, Solms Delta Wine Estate, Franschhoek Wine Route, Cape Town

Fyndraai Restaurant

Solms Delta Wine Estate is the result of world-renowned neuroscientist Professor Mark Solms's passion for his European roots blended with traditional Cape Traditions.

Wine

The wines are offered in three ranges:

Solms-Wijn de Caab wines consist of Rhône-style blends with desiccated components. A fusion of tradition and creativity.
Solms-Hegewisch wines are made entirely from desiccated grapes.
Solms-Astor wines are lighter "party wines", made from the more traditional Cape varietals.

Museum & Heritage

The Museum van de Caab is an oral history centre for the workers on the farm and the surrounding farm communities.
It represents all voices - even that of the owner.

This allows a story to emerge that is authored by the inhabitants themselves, as they discuss what is meaningful and important in their lives today, and describe how they feel about the past.
