Compagnesdrift was probably the first farm to be established at the foothills of the HouwHoek Mountains in the early part of the eighteenth century as a stopover for early travelers heading east on the Old Cape Wagon Way.
This is now home to Beaumont Wines, a family run farm acquired by Jayne and Raoul Beaumont in 1972,. Jayne Beaumont talked to the Hermanus history society about the history of the farm and we accompanied her on a fascinating tour of the old homestead, restored water mill and wine cellar.
