The historic Blaauwklippen Wine Estate is the official lifestyle partner of the Sunshine Tour.

Blaauwklippen Wine Estate invites golf fans, players and visitors to make the estate their go-to destination in Stellenbosch for the Investec SA Open Championship at Stellenbosch Golf Club from today (Thursday 26 February) to Sunday 1 March.
