Jakkalsvlei, meaning “Jackal’s Marsh,” is a family-owned winery nestled in the breathtaking, world-renowned Garden Route. Since 1972, the Jonker family has proudly owned Jakkalsvlei, and today, the farm is managed by the third generation of Jonkers.
In 2008, Jakkalsvlei celebrated a milestone by bottling its first wine. Fast forward to today, and the winery produces an impressive 500,000 liters annually. In 2010, they opened their doors to the public, and Jakkalsvlei has since become a must-visit destination for locals and tourists alike. Known for their warm hospitality, exceptional wines, and commitment to sustainable farming, Jakkalsvlei has carved a reputation for excellence in the region.
Under the visionary leadership of Jantjie Jonker, Jakkalsvlei continues to adopt sustainable farming practices, takes proactive action to restore natural vegetation on their land and build a world class brand to carry on the Jakkalsvlei legacy.
We extend our heartfelt thanks to Jantjie and the incredible team at Jakkalsvlei for their dedication to environmental stewardship and for joining the Friends of the Biosphere programme as a Hero. Your efforts to support and uplift the area are truly inspiring.
