Nestled in the heart of the Paarl Valley lies Nantes Estate; a truly magnificent setting amidst beautiful vineyards and dramatic views over the Drakenstein Mountains. The perfect venue for a special occasion!

Balmy summers introduce breathtaking sunsets as the majestic mountains are painted in hues of pink, orange and red. A sight so beautiful it would surely make Michelangelo cry out in wonder! And the appearance of the moon, late in the day, is an indication that the equilibrium between man and nature has once again been restored!

Paarl is one of the oldest European towns in South Africa dating back to 1687 and was named Paarl by the first settlers who fancied the resemblance of one of the boulders on top of the hill to a gigantic pearl. The finest quality natural pearls have been highly valued as objects of beauty for many centuries, and because of this, the word pearl has become a metaphor for something very rare, fine, admirable, and valuable. It is to this that we equate the beautiful Nantes Estate.

Grandeur: The quality or state of being grand. This truly unique and newly renovated function venue is waiting to embrace you with its charm. The elegant, air-conditioned venue offers exquisite views and comfortably seats up to 220 people banquet style or 180 for a dinner dance. The swimming pool area provides an ideal backdrop for pre-dinner drinks making Nantes Estate a perfect location for weddings.

The suitable flow and convivial amenities provides an ideal platform for conferences, special events, training seminars, corporate entertainment, exhibitions and product launches. The stylish board room flows into a beautifully decorated library cum sitting room which in turn opens onto a ‘stoep’ overlooking the vineyards and mountains. The boardroom is well equipped and hosts a mini bar plus flat screen television showcasing the various international sport and news channels.
