Our story
Rooted in family, agriculture and wine
Our family has been deeply rooted in agriculture and the wine industry for many generations. We have a rich and diverse cultural heritage, including Dutch, German and Italian family descent.
Being mostly involved in viticulture for the greater part of my career, I have always been responsible for nurturing the vines and harvesting the grapes. I have had the privilege of growing up with and learning from some of the greatest mentors in the South African wine industry.
However, I have always had the dream of going full circle by crafting my own wines and creating my own brand. The process has been exhilarating, and my wife and two sons, Gabriel and Vilje, have been involved throughout.
With passion, faith and hard work, this dream became a reality in 2024.
We are incredibly honoured to introduce you to Kriel Family Vineyards. Our wines pay tribute to family. We invite you to celebrate life with us.
