About Maison Estate

Within the valley of Franschhoek and the Huguenots lies Maison Estate which yields vines nurtured from planting until harvest, whose grapes are hand picked and whose wines will please your taste buds. This is the ultimately the home of Chris Weylandts owner of the exclusive furniture store. He declares that the estate pursues three things: the creation of superb wines, delicious food and a love of great design.

Maison means ‘home’ in French and the owner welcomes you to visit and feel at home here in their designer tasting room. He mentioned that it’s the sharing of wine with good friends and good meals that always bring him home after travelling.

You’ll find a bistro styled restaurant, The Chef’s Warehouse, beside the tasting room whose head chef is well-known David Schneider.
