About
Our Historical Estate established in 1690, is nestled at the foot of the Drakenstein Mountains in the Franschhoek Valley and owes its name to the statuesque blue Eucalyptus trees that line the entrance to the farm. Today the Estate is owned by German Family DAUPHIN , who bought the farm in 1999 and have Huguenot roots. The Scenic estate , with its Cape Dutch ambience ,is a working farm offering award winning wines , ideal venues for functions and relaxed accommodation in its cottages .
