Our Name and Wines
Piet Dreyer was a fisherman all his life. As a child, when he was about 16 years old, his father was seriously injured in a motorcycle crash and he helped his mother to support the family by catching fish over weekends and after school on a friend’s fishing boat.
The Cellar Club
The Cellar Club has been designed to welcome fellow wine lovers into the Ken Forrester "Family". Our aim is to provide our members with hand-crafted quality wines, which is the product of our soil, our vines, our climate & our people.
Family Involvement
The Dreyer Family bought the farm, Remhoogte south east of Hermanus in the Akkedisberg area in 1982. Piet Dreyer was doing commercial fishing at the time. They ran livestock and later planted citrus trees. Piet’s wife and children tended the farm in his absence. During 1999 the Dreyers planted 10 hectares Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot and Shiraz.
Our Estate
Waterford Estate is situated in one of the world's most visually arresting pockets of paradise. Located on the rolling slopes of the Helderberg Mountain, leading around to the picturesque Upper Blaauwklippen Valley.
