Oak Valley Estate is a wine farm in Elgin, founded in 1898. The location is one of the coolest wine-growing regions in South Africa, and the farm takes a minimalist intervention approach to ensure the production of world-class wines.
The first commercial deciduous fruit orchards in the Elgin were established in Oak Valley. These orchards were the precursor to the development of the apple industry in Elgin, which remains the economic backbone of the valley to this day.
