Conferences, board meetings, private dinners and weddings for up to 150 guests indoors and 250 on the lawns can be organized at Lanzerac, a hotel, spa and wine estate on Lanzerac Road in Stellenbosch, South Africa. The estate has eight named meeting and dining rooms and 54 rooms and suites, so a group can meet, eat and stay on one property in the Jonkershoek Valley.
Seminars and company events
Lanzerac has a Meetings and Events team that sells day conferences and multi-day programs. The conference venues are the Cellar Hall, the Cellar Foyer, The Loft, Buchanan's Chambers, the Master's Study, The Drawing Room, The Conservatory and the Private Dining Room. Conference packages include venue hire and setup by the estate team, a screen or LED display with HDMI connection, multi-plugs for hybrid meetings, podiums, flip charts, unlimited Wi-Fi, and a notepad and pen for each delegate. On the catering side, packages cover tea and coffee with rusks on arrival, mid-morning and afternoon breaks with snacks, still and sparkling water and, depending on the package, a two-course set menu for groups of up to 50. A conference brochure with full room details is available from the estate.
Weddings and receptions
The estate sells engagement parties and weddings, with packages published for 2026 to 2028. The Cellar Hall, which is air-conditioned, seats up to 150 guests, and the lawns take up to 250 guests for a larger celebration outdoors with views over the valley, the vineyards and the surrounding mountains. Smaller corners of the estate suit an intimate dinner. The Meetings and Events team works with specialist suppliers for flowers, music and decor.
Rooms and capacities
The Cellar Hall is the main indoor space, for up to 150 guests. The lawns are the largest event area, for up to 250. The Cellar Foyer, The Loft, Buchanan's Chambers, the Master's Study, The Drawing Room, The Conservatory and the Private Dining Room take smaller groups, for breakouts, board meetings and private dinners; their capacities are in the estate's conference brochure.
Accommodation
The hotel has 54 rooms and suites in four categories: Classic Rooms, Luxury Rooms, Junior Suites and Suites. Delegates and wedding guests can stay on site, and the enquiry form asks for accommodation needs at the outset. A spa on the estate adds an option for free time.
Catering
Catering is handled by the estate. Lanzerac runs several dining venues: Manor Kitchen, Taphuis, the Tasting Room and Deli, the Craven Lounge and The Library. Wine tasting from the estate's own cellar can be added to a program, and the dining rooms give a group a choice of setting for each evening.
History and setting
Lanzerac has been a farm since 1692 and has made wine for more than three centuries. It is known as the estate where the first commercially bottled Pinotage, the grape created in South Africa, was produced. The buildings stand among vineyards at the entrance to the Jonkershoek Valley, close to the town of Stellenbosch.
Getting there
The estate is on Lanzerac Road, Stellenbosch, 7600, a short drive from the town center. Cape Town International Airport is the arrival point for most groups, with the transfer made by road through the Cape Winelands.
