Kay & Monty Vineyards: Relaxed Country Luxury on the Plett Wine Route
Set in the rolling hills of The Crags along the Plett Wine Route, Kay & Monty Vineyards is a boutique wine estate where slow living, small-batch winemaking and countryside charm meet. Family-owned and deeply rooted in the rhythms of the land, the farm produces a thoughtful collection of cool-climate wines – including a dry rosé, aged sauvignon blanc, red blend, and a celebratory Cap Classique; all best enjoyed with long, shared lunches under wide skies.
The estate’s restaurant and tasting room, housed in a converted orchid greenhouse, has become a beloved spot for both locals and visitors, offering sweeping views over the lush fields and a menu served family-style in a gracious, welcoming setting. Whether popping in for a tasting or celebrating something special, Kay & Monty is known for its warmth, generosity, and laidback elegance.
For guests wanting to linger a little longer, Country House offers the perfect home base. Once the original farmhouse, this beautifully restored five-bedroom homestead is now an exclusive-use retreat complete with a swimming pool, indoor fireplaces, spacious lounge and dining areas, and a large kitchen designed for cooking and connection. Tucked between vineyards and mountains, it’s ideal for relaxed getaways, small celebrations or memorable family holidays.
The surrounding area offers access to hiking and biking trails, horse riding, beaches, golf and wildlife adventures – all just minutes away.
Whether visiting for an afternoon or a long weekend, Kay & Monty Vineyards offers an invitation to embrace a slower, more generous way of living.
