Beaumont is a family owned and managed wine farm situated in the heart of the town of Bot River (“Botter Rivier”) in the Overberg.

The farm, home to the region’s oldest wine cellar, was originally established in the 1700s by the Dutch East India Company as a supply farm producing fruit, vegetables, dairy, wine and flour.

The historic farm offers quintessential Overberg architecture with barns and homesteads. Three of the original buildings have been beautifully restored as quaint self-catering cottages and the farm is home to one of the oldest working watermills in the country.

Compagnes Drift farm has long been a family affair since Jayne and Raoul Beaumont bought the property in 1974. Their son, Sebastian and his wife, Nici took over the running of the farm in 2015 and in this time have left their own indelible mark on it, modernising both the brand and the business.

Having recently celebrated 50 years of farming and 30 years of winemaking we have refined our unique range of wines to capture the essence of what the terroir can produce, specialising in Chenin Blanc, Pinotage and Mourvèdre.

Wine, food and people are always at the centre of our down-to-earth narrative. It is with this mind that we have created a tasting experience on the farm with our wines, deli and shop.
